1. "Hitchhiker's Guide" workshop videos online

Videos from our "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Herschel Science Archive" workshop are now posted on the agenda page. This workshop emphasized commonalities in spectroscopy visualization and analysis tools, and the demos may be particularly interesting:

Visualizing in Spectrum Explorer, 14m28s
Visualizing in Cube Toolbox, 23m10s
Fitting Lines with Spectrum Fitter, 8m30s
PACS Fitting Examples, 11m40s
SPIRE Fitting Examples, 20m58s
HIFI Fitting Examples, 17m11s
PACS and CARMA CO Cubes in ds9, 19m03s

These are only a small subset of the videos, presentations, exercises and sample data available, for photometry as well as spectroscopy.

2. Version 12.1 data products available in the Herschel Science Archive

The bulk reprocessing of the archive with Standard Product Generation 12.1 is complete. The highlights of the new version include much-improved PACS photometry images for extended emission, produced with both the JScanam and MADMap mapmakers. You can access these data using HIPE, the HSA User Interface, or IRSA.

Additionally, new servers have been deployed to improve the querying and retrieval of archive data.

3. NHSC at the Seattle AAS meeting

Some members of the NHSC will be present at the IPAC booth during the American Astronomical Society meeting, January 4-8 in Seattle. Please feel free to drop by to discuss any aspect of Herschel.
