Here is the dropbox link to my ever growing and evolving little library of Python routines (Python 3 compatible).<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/5877eh9is0nfwro/MISC.py?dl=0" target="_blank">Collection </a>of miscellaneous little helper routines, including a table crossmatching an cone-searching routine</li>
<li><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/731tef7wn2vx511/IMAGING.py?dl=0" target="_blank">Imaging</a>-related routines, e.g., finding point sources, simulate observations, create multiplot galleries</li>
<li>my custom <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/731tef7wn2vx511/IMAGING.py?dl=0" target="_blank">VISIR</a> pipeline</li>
<li>some <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/yptfu42tolowqmm/WISE.py?dl=0" target="_blank">WISE</a> related routines, e.g., for converting the magnitudes into flux densities</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Most of the routines are documented and should be self-explanatory but I am still working on a more detailed documentation, version control/history and so on. Please let me know if you have any questions!</div>

It offers access to all its telescopes to all astronomers world-wide not only to its members. This includes state-of-the-art observations as a community service but all excellent opportunities to work directly at ESO at all career stages. I will give a quick overview of ESO's observing facilities and show how to access them including advice on proposal writing. In the final part, the ESO fellow and studentship programmes in hosted Germany and Chile will be presented. This presentation is planned to be very informal and interactive so that we can concentrate on the main interests of the audience.</span></span><br />

This powerful emission if often brighter than all the star light of the galaxy combined. Its source is an accreting supermassive black hole in the galaxy center. However, around half of the accretion disk emission does not escape the nuclear region but is instead absorbed by an unknown dust structure and reemitted in the infrared. I will present an overview of our attempts to detect and resolve this dust structure in nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) and review the surprising results emerging from recent highest angular resolution observations.</span></span><br />

The N- and Q-band imaging atlas<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Abstract:<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We present the first subarcsecond-resolution mid-infrared (MIR) atlas of local active galactic nuclei (AGN) containing 253 objects with a median redshift of z = 0.016. It comprises all available MIR imaging observations performed to date with ground-based 8-meter class telescopes and includes in total 895 independent photometric measurements, of which more than 60% are previously unpublished.We detect extended nuclear emission in at least 21% of the objects, while another 19% appear clearly point-like, and the remaining objects cannot be constrained. Subarcsecond resolution allows us to isolate the emission of the AGN on scales of a few tens of parsecs for the bulk of the sample and obtain nuclear photometry in multiple filters for the objects. The photometry is used to construct median spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for the different optical AGN types and estimate the individual MIR 12 and 18 um continuum luminosities, which range over more than six orders of magnitude. We also analyse the arcsecond-scale MIR emission as probed by Spitzer and compare it to the subarcsecond-scale emission. The continuum emission is on average 20% lower on subarcsecond scales with a large scatter that depends mostly on the object distance or luminosity. The silicate feature strength is similar on both scales and generally appears in emission (absorption) in type I (II) AGN. However, the PAH emission appears weaker or absent on subarcsecond scales, indicating that most of the star formation has been resolved out. The differences of the MIR SEDs on both scales are particularly large for AGN/starburst composites and close-by (and weak) AGN. Because of its size and characteristics, the AGN MIR atlas is well-suited not only for detailed investigation of individual sources but also for sample studies of AGN unification.</div>
