Chandra Events at the 245th AAS
The Chandra Director’s Office would like to bring to your attention some Chandra and X-ray related events during the 245th meeting of the American Astronomical Society. All times are EST.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory Booth (Exhibit Hall)
We encourage you to visit the Chandra booth, where you can learn about spacecraft updates and proposal opportunities, talk to CXC experts, and browse our latest collection of materials and swag.
