Hi all,
I wanted to share with you all that Greg Zeimann is giving a talk at UT Austin (and on Zoom) on Thursday afternoon about the scientific opportunities afforded by the HET! He will share and promote the HET in general, and will also share specific information about data reduction pipelines/products. I'm particularly excited that he'll share more information about the VIRUS Parallel Survey data, which are now available to all researchers at HET partner institutions (this means you!).
This talk will be similar to future talks planned at each of the HET partner institutions, but in case your future schedules don't align, why miss this opportunity now?! Come join us on Zoom on Thursday to hear Greg's perspective, ask him questions about your science cases, and to get excited by your fellow HET users! Fine out how this telescope can serve you and your scientific needs. It's never been easier to do science on a 10m telescope than with the HET.
Here are the details for Greg's talk on Thursday afternoon:
3:30pm CST Thursday, November 9 - COSMOS SEMINAR
PMA 15.216B and

Scientific Opportunities with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope
The Hobby-Eberly Telescope (HET) is a
phenomenal resource UT Austin. Graduate students, postdocs, and faculty
have 100s of hours available three times a year to observe with
world-class spectroscopic instruments.
Targets are submitted to a queue and the data is reduced the next day.
The goal of this presentation is threefold: 1) to show the wide range
of scientific programs accessible with the HET, 2) to inform users about
the data reduction pipelines, products, and
advanced algorithms, and 3) to highlight a new survey from the HET, the
HET VIRUS Parallel Survey (HETVIPS). Attendees are encouraged to come
with questions and pick my brain for ways that the HET can help them.
