Herschel Workshop, October 2014

October 6-10, 2014

California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California

Agenda: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Extracting SEDs and Spectra from the Herschel Science Archive

The goal of this workshop, The Hitchhiker's Guide to Extracting SEDs and Spectra from the Herschel Science Archive, was to showcase the contents and capabilities of the Herschel Archive, and to provide information and training on how to best exploit it. This workshop was directed to astronomers who were new to Herschel and interested in mining the Herschel archive, as well as beginner Herschel users who want to learn how to reduce their data.
