Re: FITS and ROOT

Hi Nicolas,
Yep, I have also mentioned to Valeri (cc. to Rene and Fons) that a native FITS in ROOT would be great w.r.t. the multi-messenger campaign we are currently setting up between the IceCube and the gamma ray community to investigate astrophysical objects both in EM radiation as well as in neutrinos.

Cheers,
Nick.
