Dr. Jerry Kriss of STScI, and formerly of the FUSE mission operations team,
has been gratious enough to provide the following IRAF scripts,
which will assist you if you choose to use the IRAF package to view
and analyze your FUSE data. For further details on how to use IRAF
to work with FUSE data, please see the presentation given at the first
FUSE data workshop
Using IRAF to Manipulate FUSE Data (in pdf).
Sept. 25, 2000: Typo fix in fuse2img.cl prior to this date. Download revised script! (The line imgfile=qpout needed to read imgfile=imgout in order for the script to work properly.) Thanks to Dr. Ted Simon for reporting this typo!
Sept. 18, 2000: Bug fix in fusebin.cl prior to this date. Download revised script! (The bug had to do with the way the errors were combined.) Thanks to Dr. Gulab Chand Dewangan for reporting this bug!
Aug. 9, 2000: Revised versions of these cl scripts have been placed here today that fix a number of small bugs found by users. Thanks for your feedback! And thanks to Jerry Kriss for providing the updated scripts for posting here. Click here for a summary of the updates.
The following scripts may be down loaded by clicking on the script name:
| Script name | Use | IRAF useage syntax |
| fuse2qp.cl | Converts a FUSE raw ttag file into QPOE format | cl> fuse2qp X01701010071attagfraw.fits x.qp |
| fuse2img.cl | Converts a FUSE calibrated spectrum into IRAF image format | cl> fuse2img X0170101tot1alif4ttagfcal.fits flx.imh |
| fusecombine.cl | Combines FUSE calibrated spectra from the same channel/segment Note that the co-addition is unweighted | cl>fusecombine tons180.in lif2atot.fits |
| fusebin.cl | Bins a FUSE calibrated spectrum in pixel space by integer pixels | cl> fusebin lif2atot.fits lif2atotb5.fits 5 |
| listfuse.cl | Converts a FUSE calibrated spectrum into an ASCII file giving wavelengths, fluxes, and errors in three columns | cl> listfuse lif2atot.fits lif2atot.spec yes |
1. Create a home$bin directory as a subdirectory of your IRAF home directory. 2. Add these definitions to your login.cl file: task $fuse2qp = home$bin/fuse2qp.cl task $fuse2img = home$bin/fuse2img.cl task $fusecombine = home$bin/fusecombine.cl task $fusebin = home$bin/fusebin.cl task $listfuse = home$bin/listfuse.cl 3. Frequently "fusecombine" has problems when define in this way. A workaround is to re-issue the above task definition at the command level: cl> task $fusecombine = home$bin/fusecombine.cl
