The SPEED facility is used in an educational context during teaching lectures given in Licence (L3 - UCA) and Master (M1/M2 Astrophysics MAUCA and MASS) degrees.
In the Physics license degree
SPEED is part of three elective and supervised projects given in the second semester of the 3rd year on coronagraphy, cophasing optics and the JWST.
[1] Coronagraphy: diffractive optics for exoplanets detection
[2] Cophasing optics: active optics for astronomical observations
[3] WebbPSF[edu]: understand JWST's images and development of the WebbPSF[edu] tool
In the Astrophysics master's degree
SPEED is part of instrumental courses given in various METEORs (Modules Experiments ThEOry Research) of the MAUCA master's degree (http://mauca.unice.fr/) and in two instrumental lectures in the MASS master's degree (https://www.master-mass.eu/).
[4] CSO: Cophasing Segmented Optics (elective lecture - M1/M2 MAUCA)
[5] SEFA: Software Engineering for Astronomy (elective lecture - M1/M2 MAUCA, M2 MASS)
[6] IE: Imaging Exoplanets (elective lecture - M1/M2 MAUCA)
[7] Telescope Optics - Erasmus Master MASS (Master in Astrophysics and Space Science, compulsory course)
[8] Cophasing Optics - Erasmus Master MASS (Master in Astrophysics and Space Science, compulsory course)
