The NASA Herschel Science Center is an important resource that has been established to directly support the US-based community in proposing and using the Herschel Space Observatory. The NHSC is here to help you get the very most out of this special scientific opportunity!


1. Open Time Key Program Mini-Workshop at NHSC

The NHSC will be holding a "mini-workshop" directed toward US-based members of Open Time Key Program teams. The mini-workshop, "Extracting Science from the Herschel Space Observatory." will be held at NHSC in Pasadena, CA on Friday, 22 August 2008. Included on the agenda will be overviews and status of Herschel and the three instrument pipelines and data products from NHSC experts. Most importantly, there will be extended discussion between the teams themselves and with the NHSC staff so that we all can better coordinate our efforts to obtain the best results possible from Herschel. To facilitate this important discussion, we must limit the attendance to 2 members per team only.

For further information and registration information, please contact the NHSC Helpdesk at http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/Herschel/helpdesk


2. First NHSC Data Processing Workshop Announcement

The NHSC is happy to announce the First NHSC Herschel Data Processing Workshop to be held at NHSC in Pasadena, CA on Friday and Saturday, 9/10 January 2009 (Immediately following the AAS meeting in nearby Long Beach, CA). This workshop, primarily directed to US-based members of Open Time Key Program Teams and Guaranteed Time holders, will provide a comprehensive overview of the Herschel Data Processing System and its usage by Herschel Observers. There will be overview presentations and lots of hands-on time with the system directed by our NHSC experts. Depending on interest, it is likely that attendance to the workshop will be limited to as few as 2 or 3 members per team.

Please let the NHSC know of your interest as soon as possible. Registration and other information will be made available on the NHSC web pages at a later date. For now, please do not hesitate to contact the NHSC Helpdesk to make your interest known to us, and request any additional information. The NHSC Helpdesk can be found at http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/Herschel/helpdesk
