We are delighted to announce the 2nd ChETEC-INFRA Observational School (“ChINOS2”). This school will bring together Master’s students, PhD students and young postdocs who want to learn about the thrills and challenges of stellar spectroscopic observations, analysis and interpretation from experts in the field.
To this end, we have secured 4 half nights with the Nordic Optical Telescope, which we will operate remotely from Prague. Lectures and hands-on sessions will cover observation preparations including archival searches (e.g. HST, Gaia), spectroscopic data analysis with webSME, stellar atmospheric modelling (classical, 3D and NLTE), chemical evolution modelling, scientific writing (tbc). Students will develop their own stellar science project in small teams.
The school is supported by the German Center for Astrophysics and ChETEC-INFRA.
Registration is now open on the School Web Page, available until April 30.
