Site Map

Welcome to GLAST's Workbook for Offline Users.

This section of the website (characterized by the red navigation bar) is intended to introduce members of the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) collaboration to the offline analysis tools selected and developed by GLAST's Science Analysis Software (SAS) team. The information, links, and exercises presented here will assist you in:

• Getting a SLAC account.

• Identifying, accessing, installing, configuring, and testing the software you will need to accomplish your objectives.

• Learning how to use the tools you have selected.

Navigating this website. With the exception of the “Advanced” button, each of the buttons on the red navigation bar will launch a second-level navigation bar. Buttons on the second level bar will either launch a new page in the main frame or, in some cases, a third-level navbar. Without exception, all buttons on third level bars will launch a new page.

For a consolidated view of the navbars and buttons, click on the Site Map. Note that all links on the site map are live.

New users will find that following the navigation bars and buttons from left to right will, in general, guide them through the process of familiarizing themselves with the GLAST project and the Science Analysis Software.

To return to the home page at any time, click on the GLAST logo in the upper left corner.

Notes:

• This website is a work in progress, and we appreciate any and all feedback that will help us improve it.

• The Science Tools section of this website is currently under development and, with the exception of the Likelihood Analysis, cannot currently be accessed from within this navigation system. This section of the workbook can be expected to grow in the relatively near future and links will be incorporated when appropriate.

• The Advanced section of this website will be developed as time and resources permit.

• Since some pages presented here are still under construction, and many pages are subject to change, please refer to electronic copy as opposed to hardcopy printouts.
