IRAC Extragalactic Journal Club

2004 Schedule 2005 Schedule 2006-7 Schedule 2008 Schedule 2010 Schedule Current Schedule

The IRAC Extragalactic Journal Club meets informally throughout the year to discuss recent articles and issues pertaining to extragalactic infrared astronomy. The emphasis is particularly on topics that are relevant to the science programs being carried out by the IRAC science team here at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Meetings are usually held in the ISC (Room 241) on the 2nd floor of 160 Concord Ave. To receive Journal Club announcements, send an e-mail to Zhong Wang.

The Journal Club for the 2012 Fall semester will be temporarily suspended due to time conflicts with members of the IRAC group.
