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
