Dear colleague, 
 
The "ISO Workshop on Solar System Objects" will be organised by the ISO
Data Centre team and held at ESA's satellite tracking station in Vilspa,
near Madrid (Spain) from 10 - 12 May 1999.
The latest information, the agenda and the registration form is enclosed
and can also be found on our WWW-page: 

     http://www.iso.vilspa.esa.es/meetings/sso_workshop/

Scope
-----

This workshop will bring together the ISO observers working on solar
system programmes with experts in instrument calibration and data
reduction for an exchange on the latest calibration updates, advanced
data processing techniques and also latest results on solar system
studies. In addition, we have a number of facilities which you can use
to reduce and fine tune your data with support from the staff at the
Data Centre.


Bearing in mind the specific needs in data reduction of ISO's solar 
system observations, our initial objective for this workshop is to
support the finalisation of data reduction of individual observing
programmes for presentations at the two major conferences on solar
system objects this year:
 * Asteroids, Comets, Meteors meeting in July (Ithaca, New York)
 * Division of Planetary Sciences meeting in October (Padova, Italy)
Also, one should not forget that by August 1999 all ISO data will
have become public.

After evaluating all replies from the "First Announcement" we made
the following decision: 

 * The scientific sessions are open to all solar system related topics,
   including Planets, Satellites, Asteroids and Comets, observations
   and modeling
 * The technical sessions about instrumental effects, calibration,
   data reduction will focus only on point- or point like sources,
   observed with ISOCAM and/or ISOPHOT.
The spectrometer data will be treated separately, either in special
workshops or on individual basis. Observations of extended sources,
like zodiacal light, comet coma, comet trails, etc. will be included
in a later workshop, foreseen to take place in September 1999 in VILSPA.


Time and Location
-----------------

The workshop will take place from 10-12 May 1999 at ESA's satellite
tracking station in Villafranca del Castillo near Madrid (Spain).
The sessions will start at 9:00h and end at 17:00h on all three
days. Workshop participants who wish to stay longer for extra
data processing are welcome to do so, please note this under
"comments/wishes" in the registration form.
Since our computer facilities for visitors are limited we allow
only for a total of 15 participants maximum.
