XSPECT (X-ray SPECtroscopy and Timing payload) is a soft X-ray spectrometer on-board X-ray Polarimetry Satellite (XPoSat), which was launched on 1st January, 2024. XSPECT payload is operating well and have observed many sources for the last one year. While the data will be made public soon, U. R. Rao Satellite Centre (URSC) which is the lead centre for the development and operation of XSPECT, is organizing a three-day National Workshop on "Hands-on Data Analysis of XSPECT on-board XPoSat" from June 2 - June 4, 2025. This workshop plans to bring young researchers in the field of Astronomy to discuss the science capabilities of XSPECT, and also train them to utilize XSPECT data for their own studies in the near future.
Attached are the posters and other relevant information for those interested to apply, the deadline for the application is 4th April 2025.
