Getting started with Tools

  • mzevin1 by mzevin1 scientist, moderator

    Hey all,

    I know a lot of you are becoming more familiar with tools, and many may have noticed that the results of the classification process are now part of the Quench dataset! There are still a lot of kinks being worked out at this time, but if you're looking for a jumping-off point in using tools a great thing to do (other than going through the tutorial, of course) would be to try recreating some of the plots that other astronomers have made with different data.

    Our page with summaries of relevant background articles is located here, and included in these summaries are many of the plots the authors had in their papers. Try making some of the plots you see in the Darg et al. and the Wong et al. article summaries using our dataset. Some of these will be more doable than others, and some may need to be tweaked to work within Tools, but it will be good to see the capabilities we have at our disposal in Tools! As you read the articles, think of some plots you may want to make with our dataset (once the classification data is a little easier to work with 😃).

    Best,

    Michael
