Following the success of the previous Chandra/CIAO workshops, the
Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC) is announcing the third in a series of
workshops aimed at helping users to work with the Chandra Interactive
Analysis of Observations (CIAO) software.
CIAO is the CXC software developed for the analysis of Chandra data.
However, CIAO is non-mission specific (apart from a few instrument
tools). More info on CIAO can be found at:
http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao
This workshop will be based on CIAO 2.2 scheduled to be released in the
Fall 2001: a preview of the new features in the CIAO2.2 software can be
found at:
http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/index_future.html
The third workshop will be held at the Center for Astrophysics in
Cambridge, MA (USA) on November 5-7, 2001.
A fourth workshop is planned for the spring of 2002 and will be
announced at a later date. Further workshops will be organized
depending on demand.
Details of the program will be sent to registered participants and
posted on the CIAO workshop Web site at
http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/workshop.html
The program will include:
TALKS:
- Introductory talks on X-ray Data Analysis,
- Calibration and Aspect Issues Related to Data Analysis
- Beginner CIAO talks and demos
- Advanced sessions on specific topics, e.g. grating analysis, extended
source analysis, etc.
HANDS-ON SESSIONS:
- workstations will be available for participants to gain hands-on
experience using CIAO on Chandra data.
- members of the CIAO team will be on hand to solve problems.
Sample Chandra data sets will be provided for attendees who do not have
(or do not wish to use) their own Chandra data sets.
Potential participants may look at all the handouts made available to
the participants during the first and second workshops, together with
viewgraphs and scripts from talks and demos, on the workshop Web site.
We are working to allow the largest possible attendance and we are
expecting to accept the first 25 to 30 registered participants (maybe
a few more).
All participants excluded for this third workshop will be automatically
enrolled in the following one, unless they indicate otherwise.
