Chandra Education Data Analysis Software And ActivitiesWelcome to the home page for the Chandra Education Data Analysis Software and Activities. The system linked from this page allows educators, students, amateur astronomers and the general public to perform X-ray astronomy data analysis using data sets from the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the "ds9" image display program, and astrophysical software analysis tools.Our goal is to provide a system that allows you to experience much of the same analysis process that an X-ray astronomer would follow in analysing the data he or she has received from a Chandra Observation. Experienced or returning users who have already installed the "ds9" imaging system on their computers should first check the system update link to see if any upgrades affect their installation. Then they may visit the section of their choice using the navigation bar above. Note: If your version of ds9 is more than a year old, please upgrade at your earliest convenience. Details on how to do so can be found on the Install the system page. Evaluation After you have used this system, we would be very interested in your comments. We hope you will help us with suggestions for improvements and further developments, particularly ways to make the material more appealing and accessible to students. Access the comment and evaluation form. Beta Release Last updated: 08/20/05 |
