9:00 - 10:00: Registration + coffee. 10:00 - 10:10: Charles Alcock: opening remarks. 10:10 - 10:20: Or Graur: introduction and logistical remarks. Session 1 - STScI JWST talks 10:20 - 10:50: Lou Strolger: Cycle 1 and DD-ERS. 10:50 - 11:20: Tea Temim: MIRI. 11:20 - 11:30: Quick break. 11:30 - 12:00: Armin Rest: Near-IR instruments. 12:00 - 12:30: Amber Armstrong: APT demonstration. 12:30 - 13:30: Lunch (served in Phillips). Session 2 - Brainstorming 1: Science questions This session will be devoted to identifying scientific questions that can be addressed with JWST in three broad subfields: (1) supernova cosmology and high-redshift surveys; (2) nova and supernova physics and progenitors; (3) GRB, superluminous supernovae, TDEs, and GW followup. Each group will present its findings in brief, 15+10-minute presentations. Things to keep in mind: (1) JWST’s unique capabilities (e.g., mid-IR, IFU, resolution); (2) focus on the first few years of JWST (i.e., not questions that would require a decade of observations); (3) JWST’s role vis a vis followup vs. discovery; (4) JWST in the era of LSST, ZTF, etc. 13:30 - 15:00: Group discussion. 15:00 - 15:20: Break. 15:20 - 16:00: Group wrap-up and presentation preparation. 16:00 - 17:30: Group reports and discussion. 17:30 - 18:00: Discussion of what’s gone missing. 18:30 or 19:00: Workshop dinner. |

8:00 - 9:00: Coffee. Session 3 - Brainstorming 2: Cycle 1 proposals Which of the science questions from yesterday’s brainstorming session could be addressed by JWST during the mission's first years (i.e., Cycle 1-2 programs)? The same groups will discuss: (1) general ideas for JWST programs (with emphasis on Cycle 1); (2) ways in which transient science can be piggybacked on to broader observational programs (e.g., the HST Frontier Fields). 9:00 - 10:30: Group discussion. 10:30 - 10:50: Coffee Break. 10:50 - 11:15: Group wrap-up and presentation preparation. 11:15 - 12:30: Group reports and discussion. 12:30 - 13:30: Lunch (served in Phillips) Session 4 - Brainstorming 3: DD-ERS proposals In the same groups, we will discuss: (1) Is DD-ERS a viable option for transient science, or should we concentrate on Cycle 1? (2) Should we, as a community, concentrate on 1-2 DD-ERS programs? If so, centered on which questions? (3) Would we be better served by coming up with transient-centered proposals or by piggybacking onto other programs? (4) Are there ways in which such proposal(s) could serve multiple science goals within transients (or beyond). 13:30 - 14:30: Group discussions. 14:30 - 15:15: Open discussion. 15:15 - 15:30: Or Graur: workshop summary. 15:30: Workshop adjourns. |
