Software to be used during the Gemini data reduction workshop
To carry out successfully the workshops on Sept. 7 and 8 we need the participants to be prepared, by installing the following software on their laptops.
For F2/GSAOI imaging: the main tool will be the multi-instrument imaging pipeline, THELI. Instructions for download and installation can be found in www.astro.uni-bonn.de/theli/gui/index.html
THELI has several dependencies, so we urge the participants to install it ASAP. The developer of THELI (who will give us this workshop), Mischa Schirmer ([email protected]), will be available for queries about installation via email, although his time will be limited. For those of you using Fedora, feel free to contact me ([email protected]), whether you experience issues with the THELI installation.
For GMOS IFU: we'll be using pyraf with the latest Gemini/IRAF package. The best way to have everything in one go is by installing astroconda; www.gemini.edu/node/12665 Additionally, the participants should install PyFU http://drforum.gemini.edu/topic/pyfu-datacube-mosaicking-package/ developed by James Turner, who will give this workshop.
As of last week, there is also a semi-tested conda package for PyFU (if that's easier), which people can get from our test channel at Gemini, eg.:
conda config --add channels http://astroconda.gemini.edu/public
conda install -n <env_name> pyfu
or, if you haven't created an env with Gemini IRAF etc. yet, just add pyfu to the instructions from http://www.gemini.edu/node/12665 as follows:
conda config --add channels http://ssb.stsci.edu/astroconda
conda config --add channels http://astroconda.gemini.edu/public
conda create -n <env_name> python=2.7 iraf-all pyraf-all stsci gemini pyfu
No problem if you have already set it up using the forum instructions...
For GMOS/MOS: pyraf with the Gemini/IRAF package as well. Additionally, it may be helpful to also install LA cosmic www.astro.yale.edu/dokkum/lacosmic/ and gmmps www.gemini.edu/node/10458
Users will also need the spectroscopic version of LA Cosmic for the IFU tutorial (http://www.astro.yale.edu/dokkum/lacosmic/lacos_spec.cl). That file just needs to be on your computer somewhere and we can then declare it as an IRAF task from the tutorial script(s).
