<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Full survey operations have begun for ASKAP Survey Science projects, and the all-sky survey by ASKAP, the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS), now covers the full Southern sky at 0.9 (RACS-Low) and 1.4 GHz (RACS-Mid). This data is made
publicly available to the community through the CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive (CASDA).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To facilitate the use of ASKAP data, CSIRO Space and Astronomy will host (fully online) interactive online tutorials to show users how to search for and access the data in CASDA.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CASDA has had updates to both UI and scripted (python Astroquery) functionality since the last set of tutorials, so I encourage everyone to attend for up-to-date information.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The intended audience:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• astronomers of all levels, from students to more experienced astronomers, and
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">• any astronomers interested in accessing ASKAP data, so not just radio astronomers or ASKAP Survey Science team members.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will go through several different use cases, from the web user-interface to scripted access/download with Virtual Observatory tools. The plan is to cover the UI in one tutorial, and scripted/VO services in the second tutorial, with plenty
of time to take questions and cover your own personal use-case.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The one-hour sessions will be: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">UI: Tues 8th Aug 10:00 AWST / 12:00 noon AEST<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">UI: Thur 10th Aug 14:00 AWST / 16:00 AEST<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scripted/VO: Tues 8th Aug 15:00 AWST / 17:00 AEST<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Scripted/VO: Thurs 10th Aug 08:00 AWST / 10:00 AEST<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(the same material will be covered in the repeat session)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please register your interest ASAP and by Aug 4th using this link, where you will be asked for your contact details and preferred day/time.
