With the launch of Chandra
and XMM-Newton,
X-ray astronomy is becoming increasingly important for research into
many
topics in astrophysics. However, many astronomers have never analyzed
X-ray
data and do not have a clear idea of the features and challenges
involved.
To enable young astronomers to get a good command of what is fast becoming an important sub-topic in astronomy, we are organizing a X-ray school intended for graduate students and recent postdocs who want to understand the intricacies of X-ray astronomy. The emphasis will be on the foundations of X-ray astronomy rather than on any particular software tools.
