p3d

Features

• p3d works on all platforms supported by IDL.
• p3d can be used with full functionality without an IDL license.
• Optimal extraction, including correction for so-called cross-talk.
• Flux calibration can be done both interactively and non interactively.
• Can correct data for differential atmospheric refraction.
• Single images are cleaned of cosmic-ray hits - using IFS-specific approaches that work paricularly well with oversampled data.
• Time-consuming tasks are implemented in (automatically) compiled C, using OpenMP.
• Information on all operations are (optionally) saved to log files.
• p3d currently supports thirteen IFUs - more can be added on request.
• Calar Alto 3.5m / PMAS (LARR+PPAK, old and new CCD).
• McDonald Observatory 2.7m / VIRUS-P (fiber bundles 1,2, and VP2.7).
• McDonald Observatory 2.7m / VIRUS-W.
• AAT 3.9m / AAOMEGA/SAMI (basic support, could be improved upon request)
• AAT 3.9m / AAOMEGA/SPIRAL (blue and red arms).
• ESO VLT/UT3 / VIMOS (all HR and MR-modes, old and new configurations).
• ESO VLT/UT2 / FLAMES (the ARGUS IFU, and the two mini-IFUs).
• BTA 6m / MPFS (the new CCD).
• WHT 4m / INTEGRAL/SB1-3 (both the old and the new CCDs).
• Gemini North and South 8m / GMOS-N and GMOS-S (one-slit modes).
• ERA2 / An AIP integral-field spectrograph for life sciences.
• Allows use of either a master-bias image or prescan and overscan bias regions.
• The spectrum viewer can be used with all output of the "CALIFA" data-reduction pipeline.
• The spectrum viewer accepts reduced data cubes of the MUSE pipeline (all sizes, RAM permitting; no args. required).
• All IDL source files have the prefix p3d_, i.e. no interference with other IDL programs.
• Output data cubes (ver. >=2.2) can be viewed with the ESO / CASA viewer.
• Tutorials for: data-reduction, visualization, and p3d setup.
• Contains tool to generate simulated data.
