General information is given in the [http://www.aoc.nrao.edu/aips/aips_faq.html#AIPS.8 AIPS FAQ]. 8 8 We currently have version 31DEC06 installed. 9 9 10 == CIAO==10 === CIAO === 11 11 [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. 12 12 13 == IRAF==13 === IRAF === 14 14 15 15 [http://www.starlink.ac.uk/iraf/web IRAF] is a heterogeneous collection of routines and packages for all sorts of tasks, … … 17 17 for which their is extensive [http://iraf.noao.edu/iraf/web/docs/recommend.html on-line documentation.] 18 18 19 == PYRAF==19 === PYRAF === 20 20 [http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/pyraf PyRAF] is a new command language for IRAF 21 21 based on the Python scripting language. … … 25 25 packages for the HST instruments e.g. [http://stsdas.stsci.edu/pydrizzle/ Pydrizzle] and [http://stsdas.stsci.edu/multidrizzle/ Multidrizzle]. 26 26 27 == FFTW==27 === FFTW === 28 28 [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). 29 29 The FFTW package was developed at MIT by Matteo Frigo and Steven G.

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. 78 78 79 == LApack==79 === LApack === 80 80 81 81 [http://www.netlib.org/lapack/index.html LAPACK] is written in Fortran77 and provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems. The associated matrix factorizations (LU, Cholesky, QR, SVD, Schur, generalized Schur) are also provided, as are related computations such as reordering of the Schur factorizations and estimating condition numbers. Dense and banded matrices are handled, but not general sparse matrices. In all areas, similar functionality is provided for real and complex matrices, in both single and double precision. 82 82 83 == MIRIAD==83 === MIRIAD === 84 84 [http://www.atnf.csiro.au/computing/software/miriad/ MIRIAD] is radio interferometry data reduction package. 85 85 It has particular emphasis on aspects of interest to users of the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). … … 88 88 synthesis imaging, mosaicing, ATCA pulsar bin mode, and some spectral line observing applications (e.g. Zeeman experiments). 89 89 90 == PHYSICA == 90 === PHYSICA === 91 91 92 92 [http://www.triumf.ca/compserv.html PHYSICA] is a high level, interactive programming environment with user friendly graphics and sophisticated mathematical analysis capabilities. … … 94 94 95 95 96 == SAS==96 === SAS === 97 97 [http://xmm.vilspa.esa.es/sas/new/ SAS] is the XMM-Newton Science Analysis System. 98 98 We currently have version 6.5.0 installed. 99 99 100 == STSDAS==100 === STSDAS === 101 101 [http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/stsdas STSDAS] is the software for reducing 102 102 and analyzing data from the Hubble Space Telescope.
