Galactica training day

November 12th 2024 will be the first Galactica training day ! During this event, both presentations and hands-on sessions will help beginner and confirmed users of the Galactica simulation database (http://www.galactica-simulations.eu) learn how to publish their projects on the database. You are welcome to participate and bring your own scientific project documentation/papers/simulation data to practise on real-world use cases during the hands-on sessions. During this training session, you will discover : * how to create an account on the Galactica platform and how to retrieve your user credentials, * how to create a simulation project page on Galactica using the web interface and the astrophysix Python API, * how to document your simulation code and your simulations on dedicated web pages, describing your numerical setup, your implementation details, etc * how to document your simulation simulation snapshots, upload attached data files to share with the scientific community (reduced datasets), * how to publish object catalogs identified in your simulation snapshots, * how to create interactive visualisation plots on your project pages, As an advanced topic, you will have a quick introduction on the possibility to bind your project pages to online WebServices to provide the scientific community custom data products out of your raw simulation datasets. The deployment of such remote data-processing servers connected to the Galactica web platform will be the object of a future dedidacted training session. This training event will be hosted by the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris. A maximum of 20 trainees can attend in-person to this session. For those who cannot attend but who wish to participate, presentations will be broadcasted online and and hands-on sessions will be hosted on the cloud through the CoCalc platform.
