[ASA] CTA-Australia Gammapy School - Wed 21st. Feb.

[Gavin Rowell]

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to join our first one-day School on the  'gammapy’ python package for gamma-ray astronomy
- Wed 21st Feb.

https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/JebDCoV1kpfDz52pwf1gMci?domain=indico.cta-observatory.org<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/JebDCoV1kpfDz52pwf1gMci?domain=indico.cta-observatory.org/>

Gammapy is the officially supported core library for the Science Analysis tools for the forthcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) and recommended for studies in the MeV/GeV/TeV gamma-ray band in general. It makes use of well-adopted python libraries in astronomy and astrophysics, such as Numpy, Scipy and Astropy. Gammapy provides not only tools to generate energy spectra, sky maps (images) and light curves from gamma-like events and instrument response function (data level 3), but also tools to predict the spectra and maps of gamma-ray emission CTA would detect based on user-supplied models of fluxes.

The School will introduce gammapy and take participants through some example analysis and simulation tasks. Additional discussion will outline CTA's forthcoming "Data Challenge" which will enable users to search for gamma-rays sources of different types injected into a simulated TeV gamma-ray sky expected to be released to the worldwide community later this year.

Dr. Kirsty Feijen (Uni. Paris)  and Dr. Sabrina Einecke (Uni. Adelaide) will deliver the School's lectures and hands-on sessions.

The School will be online via a Zoom connection Please register at the Indico website listed above to receive more detailed information closer to the date.


To prepare for the School, we encourage you to download and install gammpy from here - https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/cRUkCp81lrt98q4EwiDdeza?domain=gammapy.org<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/cRUkCp81lrt98q4EwiDdeza?domain=gammapy.org/>

all the best,

Gavin & Sabrina
