3rd Chandra/CIAO Workshop: 5-7 November 2001
Chandra X-ray Center, Cambridge, MA (USA)


Following the success of the previous Chandra/CIAO workshops, the Chandra X-Ray Center (CXC) is announcing the third in a series of workshops aimed at helping users to work with the Chandra Interactive Analysis of Observations (CIAO) software.

CIAO is the CXC software developed for the analysis of Chandra data. However, CIAO is non-mission specific (apart from a few instrument tools). More info on CIAO can be found at http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/.

This workshop will be based on CIAO 2.2 scheduled to be released in the Fall 2001.

The third workshop will be held at the Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, MA (USA) on November 5-7, 2001.

A fourth workshop is planned for the spring of 2002 and will be announced at a later date. Further workshops will be organized depending on demand.

Details of the program will be sent to registered participants and posted on the CIAO workshop Web site at http://cxc.harvard.edu/ciao/workshop.html

The program will include:

TALKS:

HANDS-ON SESSIONS:

Potential participants may look at all the handouts made available to the participants during the second workshop, together with viewgraphs and scripts from talks and demos, on the workshop Web site Handouts and Presentations page.

We are working to allow the largest possible attendance and we are expecting to accept the first 25 to 30 registered participants (maybe few more). All participants excluded for this third workshop will be automatically enrolled in the following one, unless they indicate otherwise.

If you would like to participate please cut the following registration form and send it to cxchelp@head-cfa.harvard.edu.
