IPAC, located on the Caltech campus, is not under direct threat from local fires at this time, though it is subject to the effects of strong winds and poor air quality. Many members of the IPAC community have been impacted by these events, and IPAC will follow Caltech guidance on closures and safe operations.

First UVEX Community Workshop: Synergies and New Opportunities

March

The “First UVEX Community Workshop: Synergies and New Opportunities”, will be held in Pasadena, CA on the Caltech campus from 13-15 March 2023, and will bring together experts in the community to discuss the benefit of the UVEX surveys to a broad range of research areas. The goal of the workshop is to offer the community a detailed introduction to the UVEX proposed capabilities, as well as the science opportunities with the data archive.

The meeting will be a chance to define in depth a variety of potential research projects enabled by planned UVEX observations, in addition to discussing the major science themes of the mission. Session topics will include: gravitational wave astronomy; UVEX science in the Galactic plane; UV emission from galaxies, especially low mass low metallicity galaxies; UV observations of exoplanet atmospheres; time domain astronomy; and synergies with other facilities.
