Coordinated Observations

Chair: Karl Forster
The goal of this working group is to facilitate the coordination of calibration observations among operational observatories and the analysis and publication of the corresponding data. An annual cross-calibration observation of the quasar 3C 273 involving as many operational observatories as possible is undertaken in June each year.

This working group also supports additional opportunities for coordinated cross-calibration observations between observatories.
