Gemini Scientist Leads Data Reduction Workshop Session

Gemini Scientist Leads Data Reduction Workshop Session

Kathleen Labrie, a member of Gemini’s Science User Support Department, presented a hands-on tutorial of Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) imaging data reduction at the Observational Techniques Workshop hosted by the International Telescopes Support Office (ITSO) and the Australian Astronomical Observatory (AAO). The workshop took place in early May at the AAO Headquarters in North Ryde, Sydney.

The workshop was designed to be an introduction to the optical and infrared facilities available to the Australian astronomical community, and included tutorials and demonstrations where participants were able to get their hands on real data and learn how to reduce it.

Kudos to Kathleen as it was the highest rated session of the workshop. Participant Alex Codoreanu tweeted, “from archive to I-band image in a couple of hours, best workshop ever!”
