Ready, Set, Roman! - Roman Research Nexus: Data Analysis Workflow

To help you prepare for Cycle 1, this training will introduce tailored software, tools, and techniques for analyzing data from Roman, including a tutorial on the new ASDF format and basic analysis of galaxies, such as cutouts, photometry, and galaxy shapes. We are excited to announce that this training will take place on the new Roman Research Nexus, a cloud-based scientific computing environment that provides the science community with the ability to efficiently explore and analyze Roman's large volume of data. The Nexus includes pre-installed software, Jupyter notebook tutorials, access to simulated datasets, team workspaces, and real-time collaboration tools. Users will learn how to log-in and navigate the Nexus. A future webinar will be dedicated to the entire Nexus ecosystem.

The Ready, Set, Roman! Training Series is a hands-on training series designed to prepare the community for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope — brought to you by the the Roman Science Centers at STScI and IPAC. This training series will help build the knowledge and skills needed to make the most of Roman’s Core Community Surveys (CCS) and General Astrophysics Surveys (GAS) with the Wide Field Instrument (WFI).  Participants can expect:

• 1-hour sessions exploring tools and resources to help you prepare to use Roman's data

• Live, hands-on demos of Roman tools or simulated datasets

• Ample time for Q&A with Roman staff

• A welcoming space for all, with students especially encouraged to join.
