Program

The planning of the school includes lectures (see below) and research projects that are both mandatory to attend. The projects will be made in small groups with a tutor, and the last session (Friday 17th morning) will be for the presentation of the projects' results to the whole school. The social activities (dinner and guided tour) are optional, but the participants are warmly invited to attend (there is no additional cost; those not participating shall inform the organisers as early as possible in order to adjust the reservations). The off-school sessions, in the evenings are not mandatory. They will be self-organized by the participants to present their own research projects, or astronomical topics they are interested in. The access to the rooms to work on the projects will be possible at any time.

Lecturers and Lectures

1. Spectroscopic analysis and spectral classification (Philippe Prugniel, CRAL; Harinder Singh, Delhi University)
   • Extraction of information and astrophysical parameters from spectra: Feature measurements, model fitting. Automatic classification of spectra, deep learning.
2. Multi-object spectroscopy (Laurence Tresse, CRAL, Lyon)
3. UV-spectroscopy(Kanak Saha, IUCAA, India)
   • Introduction to UV spectroscopy. Astrosat surveys.
4. Inverse methods for data fusion applied to 3D spectroscopy (Ferreol Soulez, CRAL)
   • Bayesian methods applied to inverse problems. Application to data fusion, for example to combine high spatial resolution images (HST) with spectroscopic cubes (MUSE), and extract the information.
5. Crowded fields spectroscopy (Sebastian Kamann, LJMU, Liverpool)
6. Introduction to Spectroscopy and Spectroscopic Instrumentation (Ranjan Gupta, IUCAA, Pune, India)
