XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... Both vignetted and non-vignetted exposure maps are calculated at the same time, thus saving a lot of time. It is possible with eexpchipmap to write exposure maps in chip coordinates, which is desirable for correct production of background maps. eexpchipmap accesses library routines to perform both its exposure calculations and its coordinate transforms, leading to more maintainable code and easier coodination with other tasks. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...
