The Goal of the Meeting
This meeting, hosted by STScI and NASA/GSFC and sponsored by Northrop Grumman, engaged the broad science community in a discussion of science enabled by JWST and concurrent orbital and ground-based facilities. It described and stimulated work on the theoretical foundations for astrophysics in the next decade. Presentations that we have recieved may be downloaded through the 'Talks/Presentations' navigation link.
During 2008, we will produce a reviewed and edited book containing a compilation of the talks and synopses of the discussion periods. We plan that this book will be written in a graduate level pedagogical fashion to yield a reference text of lasting value for astronomers who will be developing investigations for the JWST and other concurrent facilites.
