HEASARC Sciserver Tutorials


Sciserver is a science platform where you get access to both data and analysis software in the same place. No need to download the data nor install the software.

The following notebook tutorials provide some examples of how to use the software already installed on sciserver and accecss the data from the browser.

◈ Please make sure the HEASARC data drive is mounted when initializing the sciserver compute container. See details here.

◈ Note also that files under /home/idies/workspace/sciserver_cookbooks are not saved if you close the Sciserver session. If you want data or notebook modifications to be saved, you can copy them into the persistent storage area: /home/idies/workspace/Storage/{user}/persistent.


1. Notebook Tutorials
