| Abstract: |
PySALT is the suite of data reduction tools for the Southern African
Large Telescope (SALT), a modern 10 m class telescope with a large
user community consisting of 11 partner institutions. The current
software supports all of the facility class instruments on the
telescope. This includes SALTICAM (an imaging and acquisition camera
with high speed modes), the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (a multi-mode
medium resolution spectrograph), and the High Resolution
Spectrograph. In addition to the data reduction tools, software for
archiving, distribution, and assessing the data quality have also
been developed. Most of the software has been developed in python
and several new packages have been developed including ones for
modelling spectrographs, reduction of high speed modes, and
archiving and distribution of observations. The most recent addition
to the package has been the tools for the reduction of observations
from the High Resolution Spectrograph. These provide tools for
reduction of all modes except the high stability mode. |
