The PyaR 2024C Tutorial will be held in two parts on Saturday, November 16 and Sunday, November 17 from 9 AM to Noon PT / 5 PM to 8 PM UTC. What is the PyaR tutorial? PyaR is a Python tutorial that covers the basics of Python computer programming via a series of 6 Jupyter notebooks that are derived from the data analysis software tools used in the 2015 scientific journal article led by Claire Dorman (Raja GuhaThakurta’s former PhD student at the University of California Santa Cruz) on the stellar disk kinematics and the satellite bombardment history of the Andromeda galaxy. Claire and Raja, with help from UCSC PhD students Emily Cunningham and Amanda Quirk, developed the tutorial by replacing key lines of code in the Jupyter notebooks with coding instructions. Participants are expected to recreate these lines of code as they work through the tutorial. The sessions will include Q&A on Python issues and will cover the key astrophysical concepts that are relevant to the tutorial. This tutorial is perfect for both beginners and experienced programmers, aiming to equip participants with the Python skills necessary for research. While the tutorial will be contextually centered on astrophysics research, the skills and insights gained will be transferable to other fields. After completing the registration form, you will receive a Zoom confirmation email with your unique access link to join the session. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to enhance your research capabilities!
