coronographic data, starting from slope frames (module level/flow
diagram/list of reference files, etc.)

02:00-3:40PM SESSION 3) Image processing: Spectroscopic Data 
------------------------------------------------------------

Topics: overview of current plans for the reduction of spectroscopic
data starting from slope frames (module level/flow diagram/list of
reference files, etc.)

02:30-03:00PM MIRI 
03:00-03:40PM Discussion 
 
*03:40-04:00PM Coffee break 
 
04:00-05:00PM SPLINTERS 
-----------------------

Free time for splinter meetings. We expect topics for splinter discussions  
will emerge during the day. A list of possible topics may include: 
a) steps toward planning of on-orbit calibration , minimization of on‐orbit  
calibration time, optimization of calibration models 
b) reuse of instrument test software within the STScI data pipeline. 
c) Simulated data products 
d) Visualisation tools 

*** 06:30-9:30PM Tapas party at M. Meixner's home.
