v1.0.0 — AAS Workshop Release

This is the AAS Workshop version of the Roman Microlensing Data Challenge 2026 notebook set. It packages the finalized workshop materials (Sessions A–D) along with participant-facing documentation, Colab-friendly notebooks where applicable, and the automation needed to keep the website and Roman Research Nexus exports in sync.

Highlights

• Workshop-ready notebook set under AAS Workshop/ with session-level README context and consistent A–D labeling.
• Colab support for notebooks that can run in a remote runtime (with “Nexus-only” guidance where Colab is not applicable).
• Canonical → derived build pipeline driven by notebooks_manifest.yml and scripts:
  • Website-ready pages generated into bin/
  • Nexus-ready notebook artifacts generated into RRN/build/
• Updated Nexus integration path: exports target the dedicated rges-pit/nexus-notebooks repository (artifact-only) instead of a PR to roman_notebooks.
• Manual notebook execution workflow (workflow dispatch) to rebuild and execute Nexus-ready artifacts with optional tag-based skipping for expensive cells.

Repository Contents

The contents of this repository feed multiple destinations:

• AAS Workshop syllabus (AAS Workshop/) – canonical notebooks and documentation for the AAS RMDC26 workshop sessions (A–D).
• Extras (Extras/) – additional canonical notebooks and helper material for data-challenge participants.
• Website-ready pages (bin/) – Markdown fragments transformed into rges-pit.github.io pages via page_transformer.py.
• Roman Research Nexus derivatives (RRN/) – Nexus-specific builds of the canonical notebooks that satisfy STScI contributing guidance.

Derived content is generated from the canonical directories via transformers in scripts/ using the notebooks_manifest.yml manifest. When contributing, please do not edit generated artifacts directly in RRN/ or bin/.

Environment

Global environment specs: env.yml (conda) and requirements.txt (pip).

Notes for maintainers

• The website sync continues to open a PR for review (branch-based PR against the upstream site repo).
• The Nexus export is treated as export-only artifacts, force-updating the target repo’s main branch.
