I have modified notebooks I wrote for SciServer so that they work on Fornax. They demonstrate how to use pySAS for XMM. They are located in a GitHub repo here:
To run these you need the most recent version of pySAS (v2.2.2). Fornax currently only has pySAS v2.1.0, so you will need to run
%pip install xmmpysas --upgrade
in one of the notebooks to upgrade pySAS first.
If anyone has feedback on these notebooks or if you run into problems, let me know.
Thanks @rjtanner. We are actively working on a way to add notebooks from other repos. These will be considered as part of the HEASARC notebook set.
@djturner reported having issues with the latest pysas (or some recent versions). Is that still an issue?
I know there is one minor bug running pySAS v2.2.2 on Fornax, but running the notebook First Time using pySAS on Fornax (which is part of the repo) prevents the problem. I’m collecting a few more changes before I push out v2.2.3, but the changes aren’t anything 99.98% of users will ever run into.
I ran all of the notebooks using pySAS v2.2.2 without any problems.
