Postdeadline Paper Presentations
The program committees of AO/COSI/FTS/HISE accepted postdeadline papers for presentation. The purpose of postdeadline sessions is to give participants the opportunity to hear new and significant materials in rapidly advancing areas. Only those papers judged to be truly excellent and compelling in their timelines were accepted.

For more information, including the schedule and locations see the Postdeadline papers appended to the back of the program book.

About Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS)

Fourier transform spectrometry is the spectroscopic technique of choice in all research areas that require high accuracy, sensitivity, and resolution, and it continues to grow in application and utilization. This is especially true for new research areas, such as meteorology and chemical microscopy, where such attributes are mandatory. Furthermore, newly developed imaging spectrometers are broadening the range of FTS applications. This FTS Topical Meeting is the only international conference on Fourier transform spectrometry covering the whole range of FTS technology and applications. Its scope will include laboratory spectroscopy, Earth and planetary remote sensing, and astronomy as well as new instrumental developments.
