Swift Proposers Workshop

Swift Proposers Workshop

The Swift team is excited to announce an upcoming online workshop specifically designed for Swift users on August 20th from 11 am to 1 pm EDT. In this workshop, the respective instrument teams (BAT, XRT, and UVOT) will update the community on instrument status, their latest pipelines, and data analysis techniques developed to assist users. These updates will guide users in proposing their science cases in a well-informed manner. The workshop will also provide guidance on how to review a proposal. There will be a significant amount of time devoted to questions from the attendees.

The Swift team is excited to meet all of you!

Join this workshop and help us serve you better. Please register with the link below and feel free to ask any questions you may have about Swift GI cycle 21, Swift instrument status, and data analysis with the second link. We will discuss these during the workshop.
