The Science Opportunities of the Warm Spitzer Mission Workshop

The Spitzer Space Telescope will complete its prime cryogenic mission in early 2009. A workshop for the astronomical community was held in June 2007 to explore science drivers and a new operations philosophy for the ‘warm’ Spitzer mission, operating the mid-infrared camera on the observatory when the telescope is no longer ‘cold’. This volume will be of interest to professional astronomers in both academic and industry positions.
