This repo encodes several jupyter notebooks aimed at familiarizing Astrophysics students to python and all the functionalities related to analysis of astrophysics data. The content of the notebooks are presented in the Astrophysics Laboratory classes of the 2nd term at University of Catania.

Load the notebook of each class here: https://colab.research.google.com/

Firstly make sure you've an updated version of conda. conda update python; conda update conda

then make a new conda environment : conda create -n astrolab

and install the following python packages:

• conda install numpy scipy matplotlib jupyter astropy sympy
• jupyterlab conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab
• healpy conda install -c conda-forge healpy
• wget pip install wget
