JWST SOLAR SYSTEM WORKSHOP
6-10 January 2025
Meudon, France
https://jwstsolarsystem.sciencesconf.org
Registration open!
After almost three years of scientific operations, JWST has observed many Solar System objects thanks to numerous GTO, DD-ERS, and GO programs proposed in Cycles 1-3. These observations, using all of Webb’s instruments both in imaging and spectroscopic modes, have revolutionized our knowledge of a large number of Solar System objects, in particular cold and faint objects such as TNOs, transitional objects and satellites of giant planets.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together the international community involved in the proposal, implementation, and analysis of Webb’s solar system programs. During the workshop, the results of various investigations will be presented, along with their implications for the solar system in general. We will also address how JWST can be used even more effectively to study the solar system, by providing training in data reduction and proposal writing. Laboratory astrophysics requirements will also be discussed, to make better use of the observations already obtained.
The website for the Solar System workshop is online: https://jwstsolarsystem.sciencesconf.org/ and the organizers can be reached at [email protected].
If you intend to attend, please register online ASAP, by the end of November if possible (there is limited space).
Please submit an abstract that aligns within the various sessions in the program or inform the organizers if your topic is not relevant to one of those listed. The workshop is meant to be interactive, and the program will be adjusted as needed and based on interest.
We hope to see you in January!

NEOWISE FINAL DATA RELEASE AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 14, 2024
The Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) and IPAC at the California Institute of Technology announce the NEOWISE Final Data Release.
The Final Data Release includes data acquired during the eleventh year of the NEOWISE Reactivation mission (Mainzer et al. 2014, ApJ, 792, 30), 13 December 2023 to 1 August 2024. These data are combined with data from the first ten years of NEOWISE mission into a single archive that contains ~26.9 million sets of 3.4 and 4.6 micron images and a database of ~199 billion source detections extracted from those images.
NEOWISE scanned the sky over twenty-one complete times during its 10.6 years of survey operations, with approximately six months between survey passes. Twelve or more independent exposures are made on each point of the sky during each survey epoch making the NEOWISE archive a time-domain resource for extracting multiple, independent thermal flux and position measurements of solar system small bodies and background galactic and extragalactic sources.
A guide to the NEOWISE data release, data access instructions, and supporting documentation are available at http://wise2.ipac.caltech.edu/docs/release/neowise/. Access to the NEOWISE data products is available via the on-line and API services of the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu.
NEOWISE is a joint project of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory/California Institute of Technology and the University of California, Los Angeles, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Planetary Science Division.
