Difference: CalibrationWorkshop3 (1 vs. 2)

• 1. SPIRE/PACS photometer calibration schemes and implementation (room B3 link to presentation)

• 1. Planets versus stars versus asteroids -- cross-calibration: photometry and spectrometry (room C31 link to presentation)
• 2. Planetary models and feedback from observations (room B3 link to presentation)

Herschel Calibration Workshop (13-15 December 2010)

Objectives

This workshop will last 2.5 days with the first two days concentrating on the flux calibration of PACS and SPIRE (in particular -- for the Photometers, but by no means exclusively so). The third, half day, will be dedicated to HIFI calibration issues. It is expected and encouraged that HIFI calibration scientists come to the first two days of the workshop, particularly in view of cross-calibration aspects. It is expected that we will have both plenary sessions and small splinter groups dealing with very specific topics in detail.

The key purpose of the calibration workshop is to go into fine detail the current measn of flux calibration by PACS and SPIRE particularly (e.g., methods of source flux extraction, detailed analysis of current models being used and means of improving -- already good calibration accuracies -- to becoming even better).

The workshop is open to all calibration scientists working on the calibration of the three instruments plus a number of invited experts.

Accomodation

Regarding hotels. I was not intending a block booking.

But my suggestions would be NH Monte Rosas. You can book for a good price on-line. http://www.nh-hoteles.es/nh/es/hoteles/espana/madrid/nh-monte-rozas.html

Alternately, for those wanting to be closer to the centre of Madrid, Florida Norte is good (can be a little bit noisier). http://www.holidaycityeurope.com/florida-norte-madrid/index.htm (one of many booking sites for the hotel)

If most folks are at these two hotels then we should be able to arrange daily transport into ESAC (cars/taxis).
