• Postgraduate Level
  
  
  • Multiwavelength observations of galaxy clusters,
    
    * Lecture on "X-ray, gravitational lensing, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich, and optical observations of galaxy clusters and their scaling relations"
    This lecture is for students who are interested in understanding galaxy clusters in terms of their self-similar behavior, mass estimates from X-ray, gravitational lensing, and SZ observations, scaling relations between different observables and their cosmological implications, and how to constrain the astrophysics comparing observations to simulations.
    
    Topics of the lecture:
    Galaxy clusters in X-ray, gravitational lensing, and SZ observations
    Scaling relations: X-ray, gravitational lensing, and SZ background
    Galaxy clusters in optical observations and their scaling relation background
    Scaling relations: Cross calibration with multi-wavelength data

  • Radio and X-ray observations of dark matter and dark energy
    
    * Course on "X-ray XMM-Newton EPIC data reduction"
    
    This course is for students who are interested in X-ray instruments and X-ray observations for galaxy clusters, in particular, from the XMM-Newton satellite. We address how to handel X-ray imaging spectroscopic observations to extract scientifically useful information for further investigations of galaxy clusters, including creating primary data cube, light curve analysis, data cleaning, background subtraction, and spectral analysis.
