If you want to get an idea of what we will cover, please look at
the
lectures offered at the
2003 X-ray school.
The actual program has not been
finalized yet but the bigest difference with past years is that this year
school will combine lectures and hands-on work.
Mornings will be devoted to classes and
afternoons to hands-on sessions with computer and work with real data.
We strongly recommend that you
come with a laptop with the following softwares already installed
(consider this as the first exercice of the X-ray
school).
CIAO
-- Requirements
-- Download
SAS
-- Requirements
-- Download
HEASOFT -- Download
There will be few machines available but these should be viewed as last resort for people who do
not have the possibilities of bringing their own computer.
There will be Internet access provided.
We expect the students to work on a
(small) project and present something by the end of the school.
