Data reduction is in general carried out by the proposers at IRAM
Grenoble. In exceptional cases, however, remote data reduction is
possible. In these cases, please contact your local contact and
the scientific coordinator.
Travel preparation:
-
Visits must be announced at least two weeks in advance. Contact
Cathy Berjaud as soon as
possible for your travel dates. Please do consult the conditions for financial support for
visiting astronomers.
- To
avoid overbooking the computer facilities, no more than two
groups are accepted simultaneously. Please consult the
visitor list
before you get in touch with IRAM.
-
IRAM is closed from Friday 6pm to Monday 8am. Please arrive at
IRAM within the business hours. Late arrivals or arrivals during
the week-end should be arranged with an IRAM collaborator or with
the Local Contact. Find here information on how to reach IRAM Grenoble.
-
Hotel accomodation is usually booked by IRAM in a 2stars hotel downtown.
Data reduction:
- About
three days are required to reduce a typical project. Some project
requires less time, other more. You're invited to consult with
your local contact before
deciding on the duration of your stay.
- A
project account is in general allocated for a period of two weeks
(starting the first day of your stay) and is automatically removed
at the end of that period (no archiving, no warning). Contact your
Local Contact in case you need more time. Reduced data can either
be transferred via FTP to your home institute, or archived on DAT,
CDROM or DVD. Please reserve a few
hours to archive the data, and verify that the archive is readable
once you are back to home.
-
Information on the files you find on your project account when
logging in for the first time, on how to write FITS files from
GILDAS files, etc. will be given to you in Grenoble. Documentation
on the reduction software and on how to calibrate and create maps
with the GILDAS software is available on the IRAM Web
pages.
