The
2005 Michelson Summer Workshop will consist of a series of
tutorial lectures covering astrometry, including
past, present, and future applications of the technique,
particularly in its application to the detection of
extrasolar planets. The finalized agenda will
appear at the end of February.
The summer
workshop will be held on
the
campus of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). It will be held from

The summer
workshop is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral
researchers, although applications from other individuals in the field
of astronomical interferometry and planet finding will be considered. Financial

government reimbursement regulations. Local accommodations, near or on the
Caltech campus, will be provided to participants for the duration of the
workshop.
