[ASA] Register now for CASDA tutorials week of Nov 29th

[Huynh, Minh (S&A, Kensington WA)]

Dear all,

ASKAP pilot surveys have made a lot of progress and Phase I Pilot survey data are now released through the CSIRO ASKAP Science Data Archive (CASDA). The first all-sky survey by ASKAP, the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS), is the deepest radio survey of the full Southern sky to date at ~900 MHz, reaching ~0.25 mJy/beam rms. The images and catalogues from RACS have also been released on CASDA. ASKAP has started the next phase of pilot surveys and will begin full surveys next year. 

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. 

The intended audience:
• astronomers of all levels, from students to more experienced astronomers, and 
• any astronomers interested in accessing ASKAP data, so not just radio astronomers or ASKAP Survey Science team members.

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.

The sessions will be: 
UI: Tues 30th Nov 10:00 AWST / 13:00 AEDT
UI: Thur 2nd Dec 14:00 AWST / 17:00 AEDT
VO: Tues 30th Nov 13:00 AWST / 16:00 AEDT
VO: Thurs 2nd Dec 08:00 AWST / 11:00 AEDT
(the same material will be covered in the repeat session)

Please register your interest ASAP and by Nov 26 using this link, where you will be asked for your contact details and preferred day/time.
