Sep 27 : Re-organization of the Subnode's home page
Sep 1 : Ágnes Kóspál joins the ISOPHOT group for a voluntary practikum work. Her topic is the analysis of ISOPHOT observations of FU Orionis objects.
Sep 1 : Szilárd Csizmadia joins the ISOPHOT group with a full time contract for two years. His work is related to the Archive projects conducted jointly by the ISO Data Centre (VilSpa) and the Konkoly Observatory.
Jul 22 : The Konkoly - IDC contract "Technical assistance for ISO Active Archive Phase" is signed
Jun 24-27 : Participation in the conference "Exploiting the ISO Data Archive - Infrared Astronomy in the Internet Age", 24-27 June 2002, Sigüenza, Spain (P. Ábrahám, Cs. Kiss, A. Moór). Presentations can be seen here.
June 17 : Seminar given by Lydie Koch-Miramond () at Konkoly Observatory on "A 2.4 - 12 micron spectrophotometric study of Cygnus X-3 in quiescence with ISO"
May 21-24 : 2nd PIA/CAL workshop at the ISOPHOT Data Centre, Heidelberg (P. Ábrahám). Two new versions of the ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis software (PIA V10.0, PIA V11.0) were created with the help of Carlos Gabriel.
