Wavelength/Instrument specific software

Radio

Following packages are used for analysis of data sets from ALMA , EVLA, Parkes, VLA etc.

AIPS

CASA


Optical

ATLAS

LSST

Material and Jupyter notebooks associated with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Corporation (LSSTC) Data Science Fellowship Program (DSFP). The LSSTC DSFP is a two year training program designed to teach skills required for LSST science that are not easily addressed by current astrophysics programs. 

Tutorial notebooks for the Rubin Observatory LSST Science Pipelines

Zwicky Transient Factory

Nordic Optical Telescope ALFOSC spectral analysis

Quick data reduction code for ALFOSC spectra. This code reduces ALFOSC@NOT spectra, obtained with the grism #4 (ver 0.1) and provides a flux-calibrated spectrum using old calibration files.

Wide Field Spectrograph WiFeS spectral reduction

IRAF-like reduction scheme for long-slit spectra 

1D extraction of long-slit spectroscopy

PypeIt

PypeIt is a Python package for semi-automated reduction of astronomical, spectroscopic data. Its algorithms build on decades-long development of previous data reduction pipelines. Support for 20+ Spectrographs;

HST data analysis

From HST directly


An all-in-one script for downloading, registering, and drizzling HST images, running dolphot, and scraping data from dolphot catalogs. This script is optimized to obtain photometry of point sources across multiple HST images.




UV

GALEX

Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) mission surveyed the sky in the ultraviolet for approximately ten years between April 2003 and June 2013. The gPhoton database and associated software tools now give researchers the means to use photon-level GALEX data up through General Release (GR) 6/7. The gPhoton command line tools permit users to search for coverage within this database and create calibrated light curves, images, or movies, with the flexibility to set time and spatial ranges or cuts across the entire mission. This enables studies of variability at timescales shorter than the GALEX visit files, customization or refinement of the calibration, and simplifies the fusion of data across mission phases, surveys and modes. When imported as Python modules, gPhoton permits even more detailed work with the data, including analysis at the level of individual photons.

X-ray

CIAO - Chandra

CIAO is the software package developed by the Chandra X-Ray Center for analysing data from the Chandra X-ray Telescope. It can also be used with data from other Astronomical observatories, whether ground or space based.

MARX

Marx is a suite of programs created and maintained by the MIT/CXC/HETG group group and is designed to enable the user to simulate the on-orbit performance of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. 

SAS Tools - XMM-Newton

The Science Analysis System (SAS) is a collection of tasks, scripts and libraries, specifically designed to reduce and analyze data collected by the XMM-Newton observatory.

ISIS (https://space.mit.edu/cxc/isis/)

ISIS, the Interactive Spectral Interpretation System, is designed to facilitate the interpretation and analysis of high resolution X-ray spectra. It is being developed as a programmable, interactive tool for studying the physics of X-ray spectrum formation, supporting measurement and identification of spectral features, and interaction with a database of atomic structure parameters and plasma emission models. A collection of useful ISIS scripts: http://www.sternwarte.uni-erlangen.de/isis/

eROSITA

SWIFT XRT and BAT

NICER 

Astrostatistics programs for X-rays but can be used generically

SPEX

SPEX is a software package optimized for the analysis and interpretation of high-resolution cosmic X-ray spectra. The software is especially suited for fitting spectra obtained by current X-ray observatories like XMM-Newton, Chandra, Suzaku, and Hitomi.
