There are still a few slots available for oral presentations at the ROSAT Data Analysis and Science Workshop. Abstracts for such presentations (including posters) will be accepted through FRIDAY OCTOBER 9TH.

The ROSAT workshop is intended to be an open forum for discussing how to maximize the scientific return from ROSAT data. It will include invited and contributed oral talks, as well as posters. Invited talks will focus on topics such as background subtraction, and spatial and spectral analysis. Also available will be demonstrations of all the major data analysis systems used for ROSAT data: IRAF/PROS, MIDAS/EXSAS, XANADU/XSPEC, and IDL. Representatives from the US, German, and UK ROSAT data centers will participate.

We invite contributions in the form of oral or poster presentations. While the emphasis of this workshop is data analysis techniques, we nevertheless welcome contributions highlighting ROSAT scientific results. As the workshop is being held in conjunction with the Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) Conference, we encourage use of the forms contained in the ADASS announcement in making room reservations and submitting abstracts.

Please note the following:

  • If you will attend the ROSAT Science workshop ONLY, do NOT send the ADASS Conference Registration Form. Please fill out the ROSAT Workshop form (get the file "RSW_registration") available via anonymous ftp from: sao-ftp.harvard.edu (also included following this)
  • To submit a workshop abstract, indicate "ROSAT Science Workshop" in the "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS" box of the Conference Abstract Form. ADASS forms are available via anonymous ftp from sao-ftp.harvard.edu and are in the directory pub/softconf.

(A modest registration fee ($ 30) for those not participating in the ADASS '92 meeting will be payable at the workshop).
