Following the success of the previous Chandra/CIAO workshops and
the recent release of CIAO version 3.0, the Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC)
is announcing the fifth 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 3.0 which was released on 6
August 2003, or any software patch available at the time. A summary of
the features in the CIAO3.0 software can be found in the release notes
(http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/releasenotes).
The fifth workshop will be held at the Center for Astrophysics in
Cambridge, MA (USA) on 29-31 October 2003. Further workshops will be
organized depending on demand.
Note that this workshop immediately follows the 2nd Chandra
Calibration workshop (27-28 October 2003 - details at
http://cxc.harvard.edu/ccw/) and precedes the "X-Ray Timing 2003:
Rossi and Beyond" (3-5 November 2003 - details at
http://hea-www.harvard.edu/xrt2003/) both held in Cambridge.
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
The program will include:
TALKS:
Introductory and Advanced Talks on X-ray Data Analysis and Statistics
Calibration and Aspect Issues Related to Data Analysis
Beginner and Advanced CIAO talks and demos
Advanced sessions on specific topics: 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 previous workshops on the workshop Web site
Handouts and Presentations page.
We are working to allow the largest possible attendance and we are
expecting to accept the first 25 to 30 registered participants.
If you would like to participate please use the online registration
