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:
“A defective voice will always preclude an artist from achieving the complete development of his art, however intelligent he may be.... The voice is an instrument which the artist must learn to use with suppleness and sureness, as if it were a limb.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“Where have those flowers and butterflies all gone
That science may have staked the future on?
He seems to say the reason why so much
Should come to nothing must be fairly faced.....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
