... We have developed a new extraction software package called aXe that was specifically designed to handle the ACS spectrophotometric data. ... The aXe software was designed to extract spectra in a consistent manner from all the slitless spectroscopy modes provided by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) that was installed on the Hubble Space Telescope in February 2002. ... The extraction process is a set of well isolated steps that can be individually applied and tweaked by the user (Figure 1 ). ...

... All STIS data products are FITS files. Images and two-dimensional spectroscopic data are stored in FITS image extension files, which can be directly manipulated, without conversion, in the IRAF/STSDAS environment. These FITS image extension files allow an associated set of STIS science exposures, processed through calibration as a single unit, to be packaged into a single file. ... A triplet of FITS image extensions corresponds to each exposure in a STIS data file: . ... array . ...

Pixels of the grism image with values smaller than this are ignored. maxgood = INDEF . ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

Next: Reduce point data Up: Quick Guide Previous: Print form sheets Contents . You should reduce this data of type ``scan'' before anything else. ... Plot the background rate (four channels at a time) versus time. ... Use P ROCESS BG if you want to replace edited scans with an average value from other valid scans in the same channel. ... The reason for reducing the background data first is that average will not average the point data of a scan for which no background data exists. ...
