Students new to CIAO may want to go through the exercises in the Chandra/CIAO Workbook, 2019 AAS233 edition.

We also have the exercises in the form a Jupyter notebook. You can view and download the blank notebook (without the answers); or you can view and download the completed notebook with the answers supplied.

Workbook Addendum

In CIAO 4.13, the chandra_repro script was updated to run the new asp_offaxis_corr tool to update the aspect solution file. This has a few consequences for the current version of the workbook.
