Astronomy Software Tutorials


In the past I have given tutorials on the usage of some of the software I co-developed. Some of them you can find below:

Gammapy: Escape Summer School 2021


This tutorial is aimed at beginners to the field of gamma-ray astronomy. The tutorial was given as part of the ESCAPE summer school 2021. It uses the Gammapy package to demonstrate the analysis of data from the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). It covers the basics of gamma-ray data analysis, including creating and filtering of event lists, image and spectral analysis of binned counts data, model fitting and computation of significance maps and flux points.
