Abstract (2-3 lines)
Astronomy is the study of the cosmos and celestial objects. With survey missions, satellites, and observatories worldwide and in space, we observe these celestial objects over time to understand their physical natures. Gaia is one such space mission to map over a billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way, in 3D. The talk aims to take a look at the openly available Gaia Data Releases and use open-source Python tools and ADQL to analyze this data for science. We will also have a fun little project!
Brief Description and Contents to be covered
It will be an introductory talk with a little hands-on that can be done at your convenience.
About yourself
I am a post-baccalaureate research intern at Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Taiwan, working on detecting exoplanets. Previously, I have also been a Business Technology Analyst at ZS Associates.
Are you comfortable if the talk is recorded and uploaded to PyData Delhi's YouTube channel?
Yes
