Next: IFU Data Products and Reduction Software . ... To fully exploit such a potential a dedicated tool, the VIMOS Mask Preparation Software (MPS), has been designed. The MPS provides the astronomer with tools for the selection of the objects to be spectroscopically observed, including interactive object selection, handling of curved slits, and an algorithm for automatic slit positioning that derives the most effective solution in terms of the number of objects selected per field. ...

... The software was originally developed as a set of Fortran routines which were available both as stand-alone executables and as IRAF tasks in the Dither package. ... This set of code formed the basis for a more automated task for aligning images to produce distortion-corrected images; namely, the Python task PyDrizzle (Section 5.3) . Finally, all the steps required to identify cosmic rays using the aligned images produced by PyDrizzle were automated in the Python task MultiDrizzle (Section 5.4) . ...

... Coordinate system . It is necessary to specify the coordinate system for the drilling of plug-plates so that the drilling file (currently named plPlugMap), plate drilling, cartridge, rotator wrap and the rotator itself are compatible. ... The TCC rotator angle (object system) is defined to be 0 degrees for this orientation. ... Thus, the rotator angle gives the conventional astronomical position angle on the sky of the y axis (although Russell won't acknowledge this necessarily). ...

The software package ERA (Ephemerides for Research in Astronomy) is a problem-oriented software system for solving heterogeneous calculating tasks of Ephemeris and Dynamical Astronomy.

... The Post-Reduction Off-line Software (PROS) is a portable x-ray analysis software system designed to run under NOAO's Image Reduction and Analysis Facility (IRAF). The PROS system provides IRAF users with tasks that will properly access the x-ray data. ... Similarly many IRAF tasks will be useful for x-ray data. ... The IRAF system, previous to the development of the PROS software, provided many of the features needed to analyze generic astronomical data, optical data in particular. ...
