Conference/Workshop objectives

Our purpose is to instruct students and young postdocs in the capabilities and operation of the German solar facilities at the observatory, by giving them the opportunity to run real observations at GREGOR, the largest solar telescope in Europe calibrate data by learning how to use the existing data pipelines, Python and deep learning techniques learn how to complement ground-based observations with space-based observations experience the observers’ life up the mountain for a week through different lectures and experimental activities (programme in SOLARNET webpage available soon).

 

The Solarnet project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 824135.

Abstract:
As compared to space-borne observatories, ground-based observations have often a more complex procedure to make the data science ready. This includes basic data reduction steps, calibration and image restoration. In this 90-minute lecture, we focus on the basic data reduction and calibration of ground-based imaging and spectroscopic imaging instruments. The basic data reduction is accomplished by running a data reduction pipeline. Examples and hands-on training will be carried out using the imaging instruments, namely HiFI and GFPI, attached to the 1.5-meter GREGOR solar telescope. The data reduction pipeline "sTools" will be shown as an example and the students will obtain the necessary tools to run it on their own computers.

Abstract:
In this lecture we will work with spectropolarimetric data acquired with the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) attached to the 1.5-meter GREGOR telescope. The instrument is shortly introduced and hands-on training on the reduced data is provided. The goal is to familiarize with spectropolarimetric data acquired with spectrographs and learn the basic calibration steps using IDL routines. The topics which are covered are: (1) explanation of the format of the reduced GRIS files; (2) how to read the GRIS data; (3) familiarize with the different dimensions of the data cube, including how to represent the data in different wavelengths; (4) determination of the spectral dispersion and wavelength array; (5) normalization of the data; and (6) instrumental profile removal. With the acquired knowledge and tools the students will be able to calibrate their own data and produce science-ready data.

Abstract:
Author - Catherine Fischer, KIS The lecture is divided into two parts. In the first part I present the possibilities and ways to obtain data from ground-based telescope data archives. Then we focus on how to write a good observing proposal - from convincing the Time Allocation Committee of the science case to determining an adequate instrumental set up. We thereby discuss the trade-off between high-spatial, high-spectral and high-cadence observations for various instruments. Part 1 concludes with writing together the outline of an observing proposal for the GREGOR telescope. The proposal will be submitted in the 2020 observing season and students are encouraged to join the process from writing the proposal to calibration and analysis of the obtained data, as well as publishing interesting results. In part two we focus in aligning data obtained from satellites to ground-based data.
