Coordination of Ground Based Observations

(OEAW, VU)

Ground-based observations plans

• Roughly three workshops/meetings per year, with its main focus on the organization and coordination of observation campaigns
• Ideally a workshop should culminate in an observation campaign and further in a follow-up workshopfor the scientific exploitation of the campaign.
• In the future amateurs should also be able to provide their observational data directly via this database, which will be linked to the Virtual Observatory VESPA (in cooperation with WP6 Vespa)

Ground-based observations workshops

• Europlanet 2020, Kick-Off meeting, Nantes, 27 Sep 2015, NA1 activity
• Rosetta ground-based observations (Seggau, Austria). Organizer: Colin Snodgrass (Lancaster University, UK); June 2016
• Amateur training workshop (Vilnius, Lithuania)
• Exoplanet observations
• Further workshop topics will be coordinated together with TASK 2 and TASK 3.
