Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Tuesday April 19 - Pratt Conference Room
The PAIRITEL commissioning is in full swing and the project is starting to produce some exciting science results. This workshop was a way for those working on PAIRITEL and PAIRITEL data to discuss the technical issues in the morning. In the afternoon we communicated some of the preliminary results to the larger community. Links to some of the presentations are below
