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.

Website Development

Websites are the primary public-facing sides to any organization, and to the astronomical community, they provide the primary interface for the wide spectrum of research-enabling tasks. Intuitive site navigation, clean graphical design, and effective user experience implementations are all important facets of a successful science website.

IPAC maintains a number of high-visibility websites that connect the astronomical community to key archives, databases, and projects. The IPAC Communications and Education group has created and maintains a wide variety of sites ranging from smaller research projects like ZTF to large missions like LIGO, IPAC, TMT, ngVLA, Spitzer, Herschel, NeoWISE and more.
