Data Challenge

Training and development opportunities are critical for Spectroscopic Probes of Quantitative Reionization (SPQR) simulated data and software tools to be effectively used by the wider astronomy community. To this end, we organized data challenges providing participants with an opportunity to work with high fidelity simulated observations and to gain experience in analyzing spectroscopic data. These include tutorials in slitless spectroscopy. These will be open to individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We currently plan to implement these as splinter sessions in conjunction with American Astronomical Society (AAS) meetings, and will make these sessions fully hybrid to enable broad participation by astronomers who are not at the AAS.
