2. How can I tell which files are fully calibrated?
-
The easiest way is by the file name. The raw image (digitized
densitometer output) filenames
end in D, e.g. fuv0345d.fits. The linearized, flat fielded image
filenames end in E (no good astrometry solution) and F (good
astrometry solution). The fully calibrated, geometrically corrected image
filenames end in G.
3. How do I read the UIT data files?
-
The image files are in FITS format, with the data stored in the
primary arrays. The point-source photometry data are stored in
ASCII table extensions, with no primary array. These simple
FITS formats should be readable by a variety of FITS readers.
See Reading UIT Data for more
information.
