Gemini Observatory mini-Workshop: Data Driven Modeling of Spectra using The Cannon

La Serena, Chile, March 17 – 18, 2016

Gemini South Observatory, La Serena, will be holding a mini-workshop on the python code The Cannon with Anna Ho from Caltech on March 17-18. Anna will give two talks on determining spectral abundances with data driven models and also guide participants in two workshop sessions on how The Cannon works using a test data set and a session where people can use the code with their own dataset. We only have space for 30 participants in the workshop sessions although more people can attend the talks.
The workshop has zero cost however participants will need to organise their own travel and accommodation. Further details will be provided to those who register.

We hope you can join us for this mini-workshop,

Regards,
Blair Conn, Anna Ho and Richard Lane.
