- Inhalt
- At first the students will get an introduction to ground-based gamma-ray astronomy and will then use this knowledge for analysing real data sets by themselves. Modern analysis software will be used for this purpose. The final grade will be based on a written practical assignment that sums up the results obtained in the data analysis. This write-up is intended to resemble a publication in a scientific journal.
Activites include:
Overview of particles in cosmic rays Introduction to ground-based gamma-ray astronomy with imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) Observation of gamma-ray sources Understanding the steps from raw data to calibrated data Analysis of data with modern software packages Evaluate data quality Interpretation of results Writing a scientific publication
