Deep Impact as a World Observatory Event -
Synergies in Space, Time, and Wavelength
DATE: July 17-20, 2006
VENUE: Brussels, Belgium
SOC: Chris Sterken (chair)
(to be completed/confirmed)
contacts: Ulli under [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]
LOC: Chris Sterken, Ulli Ka"ufl NN1 NN2 NN3
Workshop sponsored by the Vrije Univeriteit, Brussels and ESO
PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP:
In the context of NASA's Deep Impact space mission comet 9P/Tempel 1
has been at the focus of an unprecedented worldwide longterm
multiwavelength observation campaign. The comet has been studied
through its Perihelion passage by various spacecraft including the
Deep Impact mission itself, HST, Spitzer, XMM and all major
ground-based observatories in a wavelength band from cm-waves to
x-rays.
To make full use of this data set a workshop bringing together
observers across the electromagnetic spectrum and from different
sites and projects is considered of great importance. Synergy
between the different data sets can only be achieved, if observers
share their data and arrive at a coherent interpretation. A
coherent presentation of all data sets will allow theoreticians to
fully appreciate all observational constraints.
Specific topics of this workshop could be:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
- From Space & Ground: The cometary nucleus
The cometary gas
The cometary plasma
The cometary dust
The comatary surface and its activity
- Did Deep Impact Release unprocessed primordial material from the
formation period of the comet?
- Are there long-term effects from the impact?
- Is there a better understanding of global nucleus properties?
- What did we learn on the surface layering of the cometary nucleus?
- What did we learn on impact cratering?
- Do we understand photo-ionisation and photo-dissociation
processes
