The Chandra Calibration Review (CCR) is held in order to disseminate and advance our understanding of the performance and capabilities of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. It is intended to share the Chandra teams' knowledge of the detectors, gratings, mirrors, and aspect system with the community while encouraging participation and feedback in the process of calibrating the observatory. Reports are solicited on various aspects of Chandra calibration. This year, we will be holding the Calibration Review in conjunction with the Chandra's First Decade of Discovery symposium at the Seaport Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. Calibration talks will be presented on Monday September 21, and calibration-related posters will be displayed throughout the symposium, which runs from Tuesday, September 22 through Friday, September 25. Registration for the CCR is free and available through the Chandra's First Decade of Discovery website. Abstracts for the CCR can be submitted here.

There is also an index of all presentations.
