Fermi Hero

Welcome to the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data analysis tutorial for the 2013 IMRPS summer school on high energy astrophysics!

The tutorial will be held by Christoph Deil and Victor Zabalza from MPIK Heidelberg.

• Monday, September 9, 17:00 - 18:00: Victor will give a 15 minute introduction to Fermi (link to slides). Then we’ll do the Software and Data setup.
• Tuesday, September 10, 16:00 - 17:30: Getting Started tutorial
• Thursday, September 12, 16:00 - 19:00: Galactic Center High-Energy View tutorial, Spectrum, and if we are quick the Aperture Lightcurve.

If you have any question regarding the use of enrico, please post them in this forum. Don’t be shy ... really any question is welcome ...installation issues, error messages, science questions ...

• Tutorial pages: http://fermi-hero.readthedocs.org
• Tutorial data: will be distributed with USB sticks on Monday ... after the tutorial we’ll put a tarball online to get it.

The tutorial pages are generated from the fermi-hero Github repository, just in case you’d like to contribute corrections or improvements.

Warning

Please do not download large files during the tutorial or the WIFI network will overload. We will distribute the software and data you need via USB sticks.

Warning

In September 2013 a new version of the Fermi science tools and re-processed Pass 7 data was announced to be released. We will update this tutorial when this happens.
