Data and Analysis

Data Reduction Packages

* IDL: This commercially available data analysis program is the recommended package for reducing Arecibo data.
* Analyz: Native Arecibo format (legacy).
* AIPS++: Interim Correlator data converted into SDFITS can be reduced with the AIPS++ package.

Where's My Data?

Note that these directories contain a very large number of files, you are strongly recommended to use ‘ls *⟨projid⟩*’ to find your files.

* Mock spectrometer data should be in /share/pdataN/pdev/ (where N = 1 - 14)
* WAPP spectral line data should be in /share/wappdata/
* Interim Correlator data should be in /share/olcor/ or /proj/⟨projid⟩

Data Search

* Get list of scheduled AO projects
* Search observing schedules by project ID or author
* Search observing schedules by project ID, date, or time (AST or LST)
* Search previous spectral line observations
* Search WAPP data

Converting Interim Correlator Data

* To 'standard' FITS format
* To SDFITS or CLASS data formats
