2013 STScI Calibration Workshop Banner
The /Hubble Space Telescope/ (/HST/) has been operating with its final
complement of instruments
since 2009.In addition, three of the instruments to be flown onboard the /James
Webb Space
Telescope/ (/JWST/) have just been delivered, and the final two will be
completed soon. It is
therefore a perfect time to hold a workshop emphasizing calibrations that are
required to maximally
exploit the capabilities of both observatories.This is also an opportunity to
assess any additional
calibrations needed to ensure that the current /HST/ and future /JWST/ archives
are robust, and as
scientifically valuable as possible.
In addition to these observatory specific themes, the workshop will address
topics that apply
broadly to astronomical calibration in general, and to more focused
cross-observatory calibration.
The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) will host the 2013
STScICalibration Workshop on April
8-11, 2013. Our goal is to foster the sharing of information and techniques
between observers,
instrument support teams, and instrument developers. Two and one-half days of
the meeting will be
dedicated to plenary presentations from invited and contributing speakers. One
and one-half days
will be dedicated to specialized breakout sessions.Contributed posters will be
displayed throughout
the workshop.The schedule includes ample time for discussion after each plenary
presentation and
during breakout sessions, as well as many opportunities for exchange during
lunch and coffee breaks.
For more information on the Workshop, please check the website:

A second announcement containing the procedures for abstract submission and
on-line registration
will be issued in early January 2013.
