To help you prepare for Cycle 1, this training will introduce tailored software, tools, and techniques for analyzing data from Roman, including a tutorial on the new ASDF format and basic analysis of galaxies, such as cutouts, photometry, and galaxy shapes. We are excited to announce that this training will take place on the new Roman Research Nexus, a cloud-based scientific computing environment that provides the science community with the ability to efficiently explore and analyze Roman's large volume of data. The Nexus includes pre-installed software, Jupyter notebook tutorials, access to simulated datasets, team workspaces, and real-time collaboration tools. Users will learn how to log-in and navigate the Nexus. A future webinar will be dedicated to the entire Nexus ecosystem.
For Webinar #6, our agenda will include:
- Introduction to Nexus
- Overview of existing ground + simulated datasets
- Tutorial on working with the Roman ASDF data format, including analysis and visualization
- Basic Roman analysis techniques, including cutouts, photometry, and galaxy shape measurements.
The training series is designed for users with all levels of experience. We will be providing a live, hands-on demo that can be viewed on its own. However, if a user wishes to actively follow along, the Roman Research Nexus is publicly available. We encourage you to sign on and familiarize yourself with the Nexus in advance. Additional documentation can be found on RDox.
