2nd Chandra/CIAO Workshop Participants

Return to April Workshop Index


Name Institution E-Mail address Xray/Software
Experience
Used CIAO before? Type of Data Analysis Bringing Chandra data?
Sumner Starrfield Dept of Physics and Astronomy Arizona State University starrfield@asu.edu No barely a beginner grating analysis of stars 72
Suijian Xue Beijing Astronomical Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences xue@bac.pku.edu.cn ROSAT HRI PSPC
ASCA SIS GIS, Ftools,
Xandadu (xspec, xronos, ximage)
yes, I have used ciao just follows the science thread. All of these things. Yes, obsid: 809
GianLuca Israel Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma, Italy gianluca@oar.mporzio.astro.it Einstein
ROSAT HRI PSPC
ASCA SIS GIS
Beginner Source detection in deep-fields
Grating analysis of stars
Timing analysis
 
SOLEN BALMAN Middle East Technical University, ANKARA, TURKEY solen@astroa.physics.metu.edu.tr ROSAT HRI, ROSA PSPC, ASCA SIS,
ASCA GIS, EXSAS, MIDAS, XSPEC,
XRONOS, XIMAGE, FTOOLS
I have used CIAO before. imaging spectroscopy of extended sources, grating spectroscopy of stars, image processing, source detection No, I have already done that.
Chris Stockdale Univ. of Oklahoma cjstockdale@ou.edu ROSAT HRI; IRAF no source detection in deep-fields & imaging spectroscopy of extended sources Yes, let me get back to you on the numbers, I don't have them handy.
Dale Graessle (CALCO) SAO dgraessle@head-cfa Einstein Beginner, for now. General, as applies to testing CALDB data for approval. This could be any type of analysis, but not at the deepest scientific level; more toward verification/improvement on previous results.  
Heather Preston USAFA hlp@alum.mit.edu No. Optical and radio. No, but I am starting employment to work on Chandra data reduction (FK Com) and analysis in early April. Your workshop would be extremely valuable and well-timed for tdis.   seq # 200039, obsid 614
Matteo Guainazzi XMM-Newton Science Operation Center mguainaz@xmm.vilspa.esa.es ROSAT HRI PSPC ASCA SIS GIS BeppoSAX EXOSAT XMM-Newton, FTOOLS/XANADU NO * grating analysis of AGN * spatially-resolved spectroscopy of nearby AGN/galaxy * generalities of timing and spectral analysis with CIAO  
Amy C. Fredericks MIT Center for Space Research amy@space.mit.edu ASCA SIS GIS, XSELECT & XSPEC Yes Grating analysis of SNR's Maybe
Rob L.J. van der Meer SRON (Space Research Organisation Netherlands) R.L.J.van.der.meer@sron.nl NO YES Grating analysis of extended sources. Obsid 00329
Parviz Ghavamian Rutgers University parviz@physics.rutgers.edu No No IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY OF EXTENDED SOURCES No
Cara Rakowski Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey rakowski@physics.rutgers.edu Einstein ROSAT HRI PSPC ASCA SIS GIS, ftools yes imaging spectroscopy of extented sources no
Adrienne Juett MIT ajuett@space.mit.edu ASCA SIS GIS, xselect, xspec n the process of learning Grating analysis of stars Doesn't matter
Samuel LaRoque University of Chicago laroque@hyde.uchicago.edu no no Definitely imaging of extended sources, also some source detection in deep-fields--particularly high-redshift galaxy clusters. no observations scheduled
Amber Miller University of Chicago amber@oddjob.uchicago.edu no no imaging spectroscopy of extented sources no
Daisuke Nagai University of Chicago daisuke@oddjob.uchicago.edu PSPC, IRAF NO, I am a beginner. Imagining spectroscopy of extended sources
Source detection in deep-fields
No
Kazunori Ishibashi NRC at LASP/GSFC bish@howdy.gsfc.nasa.gov ROSAT HRI PSPC ASCA SIS GIS, ftools/xspec on self-training wheels now. HETG/ACIS-S, mostly faint and point-like sources. Yes, but I need to get a permission from the PI (P.I. Corcoran; ObsId 632, SeqNum 200057)
Sandy Patel NASA/MSFC - NSSTC patels@dante.nsstc.nasa.gov Yes. ROSAT HRI & PSPC and ASCA SIS & GIS: Ftools (Xselect), PROS, XSPEC, personally developed tools Yes. All kinds - I am presently working on CC mode data of pulsars and faint extended emission from distant galaxy clusters. At this point, no preference. There are particular clusters that are going to become public in the next several weeks that I am interested in - I will take a better look and let you know which ones at a later date.
Dr Dharma Sharma Mrshal Space Flight Centre dharma.p.sharma@msfc.nasa.gov NO NO GRATING ANALYSIS AND IMAGING SPECTROSCOPY FROM ARCHIVE OR SAMPLES
Peter Woods USRA/NSSTC Peter.Woods@msfc.nasa.gov Einstein ROSAT HRI PSPC ASCA SIS GIS SAX NFI, Ftools, Xselect, Xspec Very little Spectroscopy of bright point sources, instrumental caveats, pulse pile-up corrections, imaging spectroscopy of extended sources Yes, obsids 723, 724, 725, 726
Jessica Gaskin University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) gaskinj@email.uah.edu No No for galaxy clusters Maybe
Marjorie Gonzalez University of Manitoba umgonza4@cc.umanitoba.ca Yes, XTE; FTOOLS No imaging spectroscopy of point/extented sources No
Bulent KIZILTAN Penn.State U., Astronomy & Astrophysics Dept. bulent@astro.psu.edu ROSAT PSPC YES. imaging spectroscopy with ACIS-I & S, grating+timing analysis of Pulsars, CC and subarray modes of ACIS I am specifically interested in ObsID 114
Ersin Gogus UAH/NASA-NSSTC Ersin.Gogus@msfc.nasa.gov ROSAT HRI PSPC ASCA SIS GIS; MIDAS/EXSAS, IRAF/XRAY and ftools for ROSAT, and ftools for ASCA. No. Spectroscopy and timing of young neutron stars. Not observed yet.
