Tools for advanced High-Energy Astrophysics data analysis


One of the activities carried out in the AHEAD2020 programme includes the study and development of Advanced Data Analysis tools for High Energy (WP14). The main objectives of this work-package are:



XRISM/Resolve and Athena/X-IFU micro-calorimeters will provide in the next decades spectra with unprecedented energy resolution in the X-ray band. Furthermore, X-IFU will be the first X-ray integral field instrument with a number of pixels similar to current optical/NIR IFU.


eROSITA first and Athena/WFI later will revolutionize the field of X-ray surveys, opening new large discovery spaces on this field. 
SVOM, Einstein Probe, HERMES, eXTP will provide monitoring for HE transients, alerts and transients light curves with unprecedented timing.

 

First meeting: Monday 21 February 2022


The meeting will assess the progresses made within the the framework of the AHEAD2020 WP14 project during the first 2 years of the programme, and will design the work of the next two years by collecting additional inputs from community experts in the general fields of instrumentation, spectroscopy, imaging, timing, data-analysis, statistics and background-modelling.
