The Chandra Calibration Workshop (CCW) is held every other year for the dissemination and advancement of our understanding of the performance and capabilities of the Chandra satellite. It is intended to share the Chandra teams' knowledge of the detectors and mirrors with the community while encouraging participation and feedback in the process of calibrating the satellite. In 2007, the CCW was held Oct 25 at the Marriott Hotel in Huntsville, Alabama, immediately following the Eight Years of Science with Chandra meeting held Oct 22-25 at the same location. Conference proceedings are available here. There will not be a calibration workshop in 2008. The next CCW will be in Fall 2009, in conjunction with the Ten Years of Science with Chandra Symposium in Boston.

Proceedings from this year are now online. If you would like to update your presentation or submit any additional material, please email us (axafcal (at) head.cfa.harvard.edu).

Proceedings from previous years are available here: [2005] [2004] [2003] [2002]
