HST Data Analysis

In support of HST data calibration, reduction and analysis a number of supporting documents, software tools and auxiliary information bases are maintained at STScI and elsewhere.

Instrument Handbooks

General information about HST instruments. Instrument information can also be found on the ACS, STIS, NICMOS, WFPC2, FGS, and other instrument web pages.

HST Data Handbook

In depth discussion related to the display, calibration, reduction, and recommended user analysis procedures for each of the archival and currently active HST instruments.

STSDAS

The Space Telescope Data Analysis System (STSDAS) is provided to users wishing to apply modified calibrations to HST data.

Calibration Workshops

Several months after installation of new instruments STScI hosts calibration workshops and publishes the proceedings which contain a wide range of papers of interest to data reduction and analysis. Proceedings are available from 1993, 1995, 1997 (STIS), 2002 and 2005.

Pointing and Jitter
