[ASA] JWST Cycle 4 masterclass: Sydney 4-5th September

[Tania Barone]

Hi all,

A reminder for our JWST masterclass happening on the 4th and 5th September 2024 in Sydney. Please register by Friday 2nd August.

The cycle 4 call for proposals on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is opening soon on the 1st August with a deadline of 16th October 2024.

Accordingly, we are planning a third JWST proposals masterclass in Sydney (University of Sydney, Camperdown) on the 4th and 5th September 2024 to assist the Australian community in familiarising themselves with the JWST proposal tools and process, as well as the instruments’ technical capabilities. Proposals for JWST have a bigger hurdle than many other telescopes, 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 required upfront at the proposal stage for JWST).

The preliminary program is:
Wednesday 4th Sept: Overview of the instruments, and how to use the various proposal tools (exposure time calculator, sensitivity tool, multi-shutter assembly planning tool)
Thursday 5th Sept: proposal tools continued, designing, and submitting proposals via the Astronomer’s Proposal Tool (APT).

If you would like to attend, please register here by Friday 2nd August:

The registration form will ask which instruments and modes are of interest, so we can try and best utilise the short time available. Given the hands-on nature of the workshop, the event will be held face-to-face.

If you have any questions you can reach out to me on tbarone at swin.edu.au<mailto:tbarone at swin.edu.au> or the team at jadc at swin.edu.au<mailto:jadc at swin.edu.au>.

Kind regards,
Tania Barone
