Agenda Tonantzintla 2017

This is the agenda for the first week of the school, July 3-7. The agenda for the second week, July 10-14, is here.

The local website for the workshop is here. The local site contains a list of participants and a PDF giving photos and research interests. The list of participant posters will be posted here.

The workshop Google group is here. That is a great place to post questions or communicate with other participants.

We will meet, have coffee, and dinner, in various locations. This page has a map of the Institute.

Each day will concentrate on a chapter of Osterbrock & Ferland (which Don always called "AGN3"). Please review that chapter before the class.

As we go along I will post plots and models in folders below this ftp site. You should bookmark it for easy access. The docs folder has copies of the Cloudy documentation and the parts of AGN3 that we will cover.

Christophe Morisset has posted a series of YouTube videos of the lectures. Have a look! Christophe has also posted some pyCloudy scripts to do many of our example problems. And he created a Facebook private group to post pictures.
