Description

The shell (or command-line) is the most commonly used (for advanced operations) interface to Unix-like operating systems.
In this session we'll introduce some of the most commonly used command-line/shell features and how they may be used in a hypothetical research project, using real astronomical data sets.
The session plan (with a listing of used commands and short explanation) is available here: https://gitlab.com/makhlaghi/smack-talks-iac/-/blob/master/smack-2-shell.md

    In a time when we deal with extremely large images (be it from computer simulations or from extremely powerful telescopes), visualizing them can become a challenge. If we use a regular monitor, we have two options: 1) fit the image to our monitor resolution, which involves interpolation and thus losing information and the ability to see small image
