Astronomical Tools/Software

-              v33
+              v34

 = Astronomical Software =
+== AIPS ==
+[http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/ AIPS], the NRAO Astronomical Image Processing System is used primarily for reducing data from synthesis
+radio telescopes. General information is given in the [http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/aips_faq.html#AIPS.8 AIPS FAQ].
+We currently have version 31DEC06 installed.
+== CIAO ==
+[http://asc.harvard.edu/ciao/intro/ CIAO], is a data analysis system written for the needs of users of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Because Chandra is the first mission with 4-dimensional data (2 spatial, time, energy) in which each dimension has many independent elements, CIAO was built to handle N-dimensional data without concern about which particular axes were being analyzed. Also, apart from a few Chandra instrument tools, CIAO is mission independent.
 == IRAF ==
 …
 packages for the HST instruments e.g. [http://stsdas.stsci.edu/pydrizzle/ Pydrizzle] and [http://stsdas.stsci.edu/multidrizzle/ Multidrizzle].
+== STSDAS ==
+[http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/stsdas STSDAS] is the software for reducing
+and analyzing data from the Hubble Space Telescope. It is layered on top of IRAF and
+provides general purpose tools for astronomical data analysis as well as routines specifically
+designed for HST analysis.
+We currently have version 3.4 installed.

+== MIRIAD ==
+[http://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/miriad/ MIRIAD] is radio interferometry data reduction package.
+It has particular emphasis on aspects of interest to users of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA).
+Miriad can be used for the reduction of continuum and spectral line experiments. Miriad, in particular,
+supports a number of niche areas. These include calibration and analysis of polarimetric data from the ATCA, multi-frequency
+synthesis imaging, mosaicing, ATCA pulsar bin mode, and some spectral line observing applications (e.g. Zeeman experiments).

+== SAS ==
+[http://xmm.vilspa.esa.es/sas/new/ SAS] is the XMM-Newton Science Analysis System.
+We currently have version 6.5.0 installed.
+=== FFTW ===
+[http://www.fftw.org/ FFTW] is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions, of arbitrary input size, and of both real and complex data (as well as of even/odd data, i.e. the discrete cosine/sine transforms or DCT/DST).
+The FFTW package was developed at MIT by Matteo Frigo and Steven G. Johnson.
+Our workstation have version 3 installed.
 == HEASOFT ==

 (for those unfamiliar with TeX, an explanation of that notation is below).
 The translation is done for either vector or PostScript fonts.
 ==== IDLWAVE ====
 [http://idlwave.org/ IDLWAVE]:
 …
 [http://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/karma/ KARMA] is a toolkit for interprocess communications, authentication, encryption, graphics display, user interface and manipulating the Karma network data structure. It contains KarmaLib (the structured libraries and API) and a large number of modules (applications) to perform many standard tasks. A suite of visualisation tools are distributed with the library.
