Our current understanding of accretion onto black holes and neutrons
stars has greatly evolved in the past 20 years, thanks in large part
to the large amount of scientific data available at all wavelengths.
In the X- and gamma-rays these advances have been made possible by
satellites such as XMM-Newton, Chandra, INTEGRAL, RXTE, Swift, and
Suzaku, while new missions, like the Fermi Gamma-Ray Observatory,
promise new discoveries. The same is true for radio astronomy, with
many discoveries from existing world-leading radio-astronomical
observatories such the ATCA, the VLA, the VLBA, the EVN, and MERLIN,
with a range of major planned upgrades to these facilities, plus
additional facilities planned and under construction.
Clearly, given these developments, the need for more researchers to
exploit the enormous volume of available and upcoming scientific data,
both by analyzing these data and interpreting them, is pressing. In
this context, we announce an international summer school to provide
young researchers the necessary expertise/skill to independently
conduct data-analysis related to high energies and radio astrophysics.
The school will focus on X-ray/Gamma-ray and radio data analysis, with
one week spent on each topic. The program will cover a mixture of
practical hands-on data analysis sessions (using, for example, AIPS,
Miriad, HEADAS, CIAO, and XMM-SAS). The school will also include
science talks and complementary skills training. Priority will be
given to hands-on sessions of data-analysis.
The audience targeted by the school is primarily PhD students and
possibly post-docs.
