[ASA] JWST Cycle 2 Master Class: Melbourne Nov 30th - Dec 2nd

[Themiya Nanayakkara]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As you maybe aware the Cycle 2 Call for Proposals for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will open soon on November 15th with a deadline of 27th January 2023.
Accordingly we are planning a second JWST Master Class in Melbourne (Swinburne University Hawthorn Campus) between Nov 30th to Dec 2nd 2022 to assist the Australian community in familiarising themselves with the proposal process and technical capabilities of JWST. Proposals for JWST are quite complex as they need to incorporate a complete observing program specification in the Astronomers Proposal Tool (i.e. what are traditionally known as ‘Phase 1’ and ‘Phase 2’ are combined for JWST).
Additionally many Australian astronomers have obtained Cycle 1 or public data and are working on data reduction. We plan to run hands on training on JWST data and tools.
The preliminary program is:
- Weds/Thu - JWST proposal preparation. Overview of instruments and how to use the proposal tools.
- Fri - JWST data reduction workshop.

If you would like to attend the workshop, please register your interest here: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-VYRC81V0PTjm8nD6CnnCno?domain=jadc.swin.edu.au <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/-VYRC81V0PTjm8nD6CnnCno?domain=jadc.swin.edu.au> and indicate which instruments are of interest for the data reduction workshop. Even if you cannot attend the Masterclass it would be helpful for us to know what instruments people are proposing for and using, so we would be grateful if you could still complete the form. This will enable us to identify future needs in the community.
This event is being financially sponsored by the Australian Space Agency, for which we extremely grateful. Therefore, we will have some travel funding available for attendees. Please indicate in the form if you would like to be considered for this as well.
Thanks,
Themiya Nanayakkara.
Karl Glazebrook.
