Data Analysis in Astronomy II [PDF ebook] 

The II international workshop on "Data Analysis in Astronomy" was intended to provide an overview on the state of the art and the trend in data analy- sis and image processing in the context of their applications in Astronomy. The need for the organization of a second workshop in this subject derived from the steady. growing and development in the field and from the increasing cross-interaction between methods, technology and applications in Astronomy. The book is organized in four main sections: – Data Analysis Methodologies – Data Handling and Systems dedicated to Large Experiments – Parallel Processing – New Developments The topics which have been selected cover some of the main fields in data analysis in Astronomy. Methods that provide a major contribution to the physical interpretation of the data have been considered. Attention has been devoted to the description of the data analysis and handling organization in very large experiments. A review of the current major satellite and ground based experiments has been included. At the end of the book the following ‘Panel Discussions’ are included: – Data Analysis Trend in Optical and Radio Astronomy – Data Analysis Trend in X and Gamma Astronomy – Problems and Solutions in the Design of Very Large Experiments – Trend on Parallel Processing Algorithms These contributions in a sense summarize the ‘live’ reaction of the audience to the various topics.
