Dear Colleague:

We invite you to participate in a half-day hands-on tutorial session covering basic analysis methods for data obtained by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the ISDC Saas-Fee Course at Les Diablerets, Switzerland on March 14th. The workshop will run from 14:00 to 19:00 local time. For logistics and further information, please refer to the workshop website, or to the Events area of the Saas-Fee 2010 website. And for general information regarding the Fermi mission and how to obtain and analyze Fermi data, please refer to (http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc).

Prerequisites for participation are 1) a laptop computer with a valid installation of the Fermi Science Tools, and 2) test data sets, which are available on the workshop web site, ALREADY DOWNLOADED onto the computer on which your analysis will be performed. In addition, it desirable that you 1) have an installation of the HEADAS software tools on your computer, and 2) that you've read our basic introductory documentation prior to the workshop, and ideally, you've already tried a few analysis examples beforehand.

A portion of the workshop agenda will consist of viewgraph presentations and group discussion, but the main emphasis will be on hands on use of the analysis tools. There is no registration or fee required to attend this workshop. We look forward to seeing you.

Best Regards,
Chris Shrader, Lead Scientist, Fermi Science Support Center
