It is expected that school participants have a basic knowledge of PYTHON.
It is also required that every attendee has the following software already installed on their laptops:
- eSASS (short description) https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/eSASS4DR1/;
- verify that the installation worked with the command of section 6 at https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/eSASS4DR1/eSASS4DR1_installation/
- DS9 (image visualization tool) https://sites.google.com/cfa.harvard.edu/saoimageds9;
- verify that the installation worked with:
- $ ds9
- this should bring up a window
- verify that the installation worked with:
- pyXSPEC (for fitting X-ray spectra): see installation instructions at: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/heasoft/
- verify that the installation worked with:
- $ python3 -c 'import xspec'
- verify that the installation worked with:
- HEASOFT (standard high energy analysis software) link;
- this should already be installed with the pyXSPEC instructions above
- XSPEC (command line based spectral fitting) link; https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/software/heasoft/
- this should already be installed with the pyXSPEC instructions above
- verify that the installation worked by running:
- $ xspec
- this should print: "XSPEC12>"
- BXA (for Bayesian fitting of X-ray spectra): see installation instructions at: https://johannesbuchner.github.io/BXA/
- verify that the installation worked with:
- $ python3 -c 'import ultranest'
- $ python3 -c 'import bxa.xspec as bxa'
- verify that the installation worked with:
- MBProj2D (galaxy cluster modelling package): see installation instructions at https://github.com/jeremysanders/mbproj2d
- please note that MBProj2D needs a working and initialised XSPEC installation, so check that XSPEC can be called as above
- verify the installation worked with:
- $ python3 -c 'import mbproj2d'
- NWAY (multiwavelength association tool): https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/nway
- install with: $ python3 -m pip install nway
- verify that the installation worked with:
- $ nway.py --help
- this should print "usage: nway.py ..."
- When downloading NWAY, make sure to download also the "doc" directory
