The Centre is organising a 2-day-long eROSITA Science and Data Analysis Workshop
About the Workshop
eROSITA, aboard the Spektr-RG spacecraft, has conducted the first all-sky survey in the 0.2–8 keV X-ray band, detecting approximately 900,000 X-ray sources. The public release of DR1 (2024, eRASS1 all data products and catalog) and DR2 (2026, eRASS:3 catalog only) have opened new opportunities in X-ray astronomy, AGN studies, Galactic X-ray populations and Cosmology.
This workshop aims to introduce the Indian astronomical community to eROSITA science and data-analysis tools, with expert lectures and hands-on training in working with eROSITA data products, survey catalogues, and analysis techniques. It will also provide a platform for researchers and students to exchange ideas, develop collaborations, and contribute to the growing eROSITA user community in India.
Eligibility Criteria: Faculties, Postdocs, PhD Scholars and motivated PG
students.
Registration opens on 22 September 2026.
Last date for registration is 17 October 2026.
Selected applicants will be notified by the first week of November 2026.
Department of Physics and Electronics, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore Central Campus, established in 1969, is a distinguished center for academic and research excellence. With modern classrooms, advanced laboratories, and accomplished faculty, the department actively advances research in condensed matter physics, materials science, astrophysics, and nuclear physics. It offers a robust program in Astronomy and Astrophysics, integrating theoretical and observational approaches. In 2024, the department inaugurated the Centre of Excellence in Astronomy and Astrophysics, by Prof. R. Srianand (Director, IUCAA). The department was recognised as an IUCAA Centre for Astronomy Research & Development (ICARD) in 2022. Each year, the department trains 40–50 undergraduates and 20–25 postgraduates in specialised areas like cosmology and data handling. Through regular seminars, workshops, and collaborations with leading institutions, the department provides a dynamic platform for learning, research, and scientific exchange in physics, astronomy, and cosmology.
