Instrument Science
The ST-ECF was actively engaged in software development in many areas related to HST data calibration, analysis and visualisation for especially the Hubble instruments Faint Object Spectrograph, STIS, and Advanced Camera for Surveys. For example:
- aXe - Slitless Spectroscopy Extraction software
- SLIM: A Slitless Spectroscopy Simulator for ACS
- Faint Object Spectrograph Post Operational Archives calibration pipeline (included in STSDAS, done by the Instrument Physical Modeling Group)
- The STIS Spectrograph calibration enhancement project (done by the Instrument Physical Modeling Group)
- NICMOSlook and Calnic C
- Lucy-Hook coaddition method

Famous quotes containing the words instrument and/or science:
“You sir, will bring down that renowned chair in which you sit into infamy if your seal is set to this instrument of perfidy; and the name of this nation, hitherto the sweet omen of religion and liberty, will stink to the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
