Announcement
             ROSAT Data Analysis and Science Workshop
              Wednesday-Thursday, November 4-5, 1992
                  Park Plaza Hotel, Boston, MA

The US ROSAT Science Data Center is sponsoring a 1+ day workshop on
analysis techniques for and results from ROSAT data.  It is intended to
be an open forum for discussing how to maximize the scientific return
from ROSAT data.  The workshop will include invited and contributed
oral talks, as well as posters.  Invited talks will focus on topics
such as background subtraction, and spatial and spectral analysis.
Also available will be demonstrations of all the major data analysis
systems used for ROSAT data: IRAF/PROS, MIDAS/EXSAS, XANADU/XSPEC, and
IDL.  Representatives from the US, German, and UK ROSAT data centers
will participate.

We invite contributions in the form of oral or poster presentations.
While the emphasis of this workshop is data analysis techniques, we
nevertheless welcome contributions highlighting ROSAT scientific
results.  As the workshop is being held in conjunction with the
Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems (ADASS) Conference, we
encourage use of the forms contained in the ADASS announcement in
making room reservations and submitting abstracts.

Please note the following:

1.  If you will attend the ROSAT Science workshop ONLY, do NOT send
    the ADASS Conference Registration Form.  Please fill out the ROSAT
    Workshop form (get the file "RSW_registration") available via
    anonymous ftp from:
                        sao-ftp.harvard.edu

2.  To submit a workshop abstract, indicate "ROSAT Science Workshop"
    in the "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS" box of the Conference Abstract Form.
    ADASS forms are available via anonymous ftp from sao-ftp.harvard.edu
    and are in the directory pub/softconf.

RSW abstracts are due September 30, 1992.

A modest registration fee ($ 30) for those not participating in the
ADASS '92 meeting will be payable at the workshop.
