Lunch Session LS1  29 Jun 2026

Getting the most out of ESO data: a hands-on session on the ESO Science Archive and data processing tools

Aims and scope

This Lunch Session is aimed at providing a forum to introduce you to the ESO Science Archive and data processing tools.

After a brief introduction, which will cover also the latest developments, there will be ample time for hands-on interactive sessions supported by ESO staff members to address your specific questions on how to identify data of interest in the ESO Science Archive, both raw and science-ready processed, and run the ESO science data processing software.

In particular, we will showcase the new EDPS software (for ESO Data Processing System), a graphical and interactive tool that will bring the user processing of ESO data into the ELT era, and the extensive set of Jupyter Notebooks that are constantly being developed to browse the Science Archive.

Programme

The topics covered will include, but not necessarily be limited to:

  • Getting the most out of my ESO data: How do I process my data?
  • What data can I use from the ESO Science Archive to implement my scientific idea or complement my own data?
  • How do I browse the ESO Science Archive to identify and retrieve the data I need?

Invited speakers

ESO staff will present the functionalities of the ESO Science Archive and data processing tools and will help you with your specific questions.

Magda Arnaboldi (ESO Survey Scientist), Ashley Barnes (ESO Science Archive Group), Valentin D. Ivanov (ESO Science Data Quality Group), Martino Romaniello (Session Chair; Head, ESO Back-end Operations Department), and Chiara Spiniello (Head, ESO Science Data Quality Group).
