The 3rd XRISM Community WorkshopThe primary objective of this workshop is to discuss data analysis techniques and prepare the astronomical community for the upcoming Cycle 2 General Observer (GO) Call for Proposals for XRISM. This workshop will consist of talks and hands-on sessions with experts from the XRISM team that will cover XRISM data analysis techniques and software, with the goal of maximizing the use of the unique high resolution spectroscopic and imaging data provided by XRISM. The workshop will primarily focus on the scientific data analysis of XRISM observations, but will also cover techniques and software relevant to Cycle 2 proposals.
