In anticipation of the first JWST Call for proposals in late November 2017, the European Space Agency is organizing a series of workshops to engage and inform the astronomical community. The first workshop held at ESA’s European Space Astonomy Centre (ESAC) in Madid, Spain, 4-6 October 2017, showcased the capabilities of the JWST science instruments, their observing modes and expected in-orbit performance.
The main goal of this second workshop was to provide ample hands-on experience with the various tools supporting preparation and submission of proposals. Among them the Target Visibility Tool, the Exposure Time Calculator and the Astronomy Proposal tool (APT).
