Funtools, is a "minimal buy-in" FITS library and utility package developed at the High Energy Astrophysics Division of SAO. The Funtools library provides simplified access to a wide array of file types: standard astronomical FITS images and binary tables, raw arrays and binary event lists, and even tables of ASCII column data. A sophisticated region filtering library (compatible with ds9) filters images and tables using boolean operations between geometric shapes, support world coordinates, etc. Funtools also supports advanced capabilities such as optimized data searching using index files.

This package contains the tools.

PLplot is relatively small, portable, freely distributable, and is rich enough to satisfy most users. It has a wide range of plot types including line (linear, log), contour, 3D, fill, and almost 1000 characters (including Greek and mathematical) in its extended font set. The package is designed to make it easy to quickly get graphical output; only a handful of function calls is typically required. For more advanced use, virtually all aspects of plotting are configurable.

This package contains all that is needed for doing development in C, C++ and Fortran with PLplot. For development in Tcl/Tk, Python and Java, install the plplot-tcl-dev, python3-plplot and libplplot-java packages, respectively. This package also includes the OCaml and Lua examples. To use one of these languages you will also need to install the libplplot-xxx package for that language.

pysynphot simulates photometric data and spectra as they are observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Passbands for standard photometric systems are available, and users can incorporate their own filters, spectra, and data. pysynphot user interface allows you to:

• Construct complicated composite spectra from various grids of model atmosphere spectra, parameterized spectrum models, and atlases of stellar spectrophotometry.
• Simulate observations.
• Query the resulting structures for quantities of interest, such as countrate, effective wavelength, effective stimulus, as well as the wavelength and flux arrays.
• Plot HST sensitivity curves and calibration target spectra.
• Compute photometric calibration parameters for any HST instrument mode.

pysynphot can help HST observers to perform cross-instrument simulations, to examine the transmission curve of the HST Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA), and spectra of HST calibration targets. Expert users can take advantage of the control and data structures available in Python to easily perform repetitive operations such as simulate the observation of multiple type of sources through multiple observing modes.

THELI is a powerful tool to reduce optical, near- and mid-infrared astronomical imaging data, supporting more than 100 different single- and multi-chip instruments at professional observatories world-wide. The graphical user interface and internal data model allow the user to concentrate on the highly automated data processing, without being side-tracked by the specific complexities and characteristics of optical and infrared instruments. THELI is fully scalable on multi-processor machines with shared memory, allowing fast processing also of large data sets. The integrated data viewer allows access to any products on drive as well as in memory. User-defined instruments can be added, making THELI interesting for amateur astronomers as well.

WCSTools is a set of software utilities, written in C, which create, display and manipulate the world coordinate system of a FITS or IRAF image, using specific keywords in the image header which relate pixel position within the image to position on the sky. Auxiliary programs search star catalogs and manipulate images.

This package contains the binary tools.

Ximtool provides an image display capability to remote client applications for IRAF using the standard imtool/iis image display protocol. The image display server allows a number of image frame buffers to be created and displayed. The client can read and write data in these frame buffers. Any frame or combination of frames can be displayed. Various display options are provided, e.g., zoom and pan, flip about either axis, frame blink, windowing of the display, and colortable enhancement.

Not DFSG-Free.

Written in ANSI C, eclipse is a library offering numerous services related to astronomical image processing: FITS data access, various image and cube loading methods, binary image handling and filtering (including convolution and morphological filters), 2-D cross- correlation, connected components, cube and image arithmetic, dead pixel detection and correction, object detection, data extraction, flat- fielding with robust fit, image generation, statistics, photometry, image-space resampling, image combination, and cube stacking. It also contains support for mathematical tools like random number generation, FFT, curve fitting, matrices, fast median computation, and point-pattern matching. The main feature of this library is its ability to handle large amounts of input data (up to 2GB in the current version) regardless of the amount of memory and swap available on the local machine. Another feature is the very high speed allowed by optimized C, making it an ideal base tool for programming efficient number-crunching applications, e.g., on parallel (Beowulf) systems.

Latest version: 5.0-0 released 23 Sept 2005

A prototype IRAF color image display package, COLOR, is now available. Currently this package provides conversion of 3 bandpass IRAF images to a Sun 24-bit RGB rasterfile format, a 24-bit to 8-bit compression algorithm and Floyd-Steinberg dithering, and an RGB 8-bit pixel dithering algorithm. The Sun rasterfiles are displayed using non-IRAF tools and the others use only IRAF images and SAOimage or IMTOOL. These tasks are usable with the currently common 8-bit color workstations and are provided for those users which don't have more capable hardware such as 24-bit workstations, IIS displays, and 24-bit addon cards.

TABLES provides support for tabular data for STSDAS and other packages. Many types of data are stored in tabular format, such as catalogs of astronomical objects, spectral data (e.g. columns of wavelength and flux), and coefficients of fit to data. TABLES provides a programming interface for accessing tables, and it includes a collection of utility programs for working with tables. FITS tables, STSDAS format, and simple text tables are supported. The programming interface is used for the utility programs in TABLES, by tasks in STSDAS, and by other external packages. The utility programs are used for such tasks as plotting, selecting rows based on an expression involving column values, sorting rows in a table, joining tables, and performing arithmetic operations on column values.

PLASTIC is a protocol for communication between client-side astronomy applications. It is very simple for application developers to adopt and is easily extended. Through PLASTIC applications can do tasks such as instruct each other to load VOTables, highlight a subset of rows or load an image of a particular area of sky. Although such operations are quite simple, they enable powerful collaborations between tools. The philosophy is that the astronomer should have a suite of interoperating tools at his disposal, each of which does one thing well and which can be composed according to his particular needs.

The IVOA Applications Working Group has now produced a specification for SAMP, the successor protocol to PLASTIC. It is recommended to use SAMP rather than PLASTIC.

Specview is a tool for 1-D spectral visualization and analysis of astronomical spectrograms. Written in Java, it is capable of reading all the Hubble Space Telescope spectral data formats as well as data from several other instruments (such as IUE, FUSE, ISO, FORS and SDSS), preview spectra from MAST, and data from generic FITS and ASCII tables. It can read data from Virtual Observatory servers, and read and write spectrogram data in Virtual Observatory SED format. It can also read files in the SPC Galactic format used in the chemistry field. Once ingested, data can be plotted and examined with a large selection of custom settings. Specview supports instrument-specific data quality handling, flexible spectral units conversions, custom plotting attributes, plot annotations, tiled plots, hardcopy to JPEG files and PostScript file or printer, etc. Specview can be used to build wide-band SEDs, overplotting or combining data from the same astronomical source taken with different instruments and/or spectral bands. Data can be further processed with averaging, splicing, detrending, and Fourier filtering tools. Specview has a spectral model fitting capability that enables the user to work with multi-component models (including user- defined models) and fit models to data.

Tiny Tim generates simulated Hubble Space Telescope point spread functions (PSFs). It is written in C and distributed as source code and runs on a wide variety of UNIX and VMS systems. Tiny Tim includes mirror zonal errors, time dependent aberrations (for the pre-repair instruments), field dependent obscuration patterns (for WF/PC-1 and WFPC2), and filter passband effects. It can produce a normally sampled or subsampled PSF. Output is a FITS image file.
