Seminar Detail
Exploring the Living Cosmos: The Spitzer Space Telescope
Presenter: Victoria Meadows ()
April 26, 2004 11:00 AM Pacific
The Spitzer Space Telescope, the last of NASA's Great Observatories, was
launched successfully into a heliocentric Earth-trailing orbit in August
2003. After 3 months of in-orbit checkout, this mid-infrared astronomical
telescope is now collecting images and spectra at unprecedented
sensitivities across the 3.6-160µm wavelength range. Like its sister
facility, the Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer is open for use by the
scientific community, and has many exciting potential applications for
astrobiology. This presentation will provide an overview of the spacecraft
capabilities and instrumentation, and will highlight new results to date,
describe ongoing work, and explore Spitzer's potential as a powerful new
tool for astrobiology.

The Director’s Seminar series features talks from scientists who are invited by the NAI Director to present their research results to the community. A primary goal of the seminars is to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across NAI teams and within the astrobiology community at large.
Team Overview Seminars describe the work of the fourteen NAI teams and NAI Central. They offer an opportunity to find out more about the science, E/PO and other activities being performed by the NAI teams and the NAI Central office.
The Forum for Astrobiology Research (FAR) provides an opportunity for graduate students to present their research results and to meet as a student community for networking and mutual support.
The University of Washington seminar series is hosted by the NAI Virtual Planetary Lab (VPL) team from the UW campus in Seattle.
