ACS Data Analysis

The ACS Instrument Handbook contains the primary guide to ACS data characteristics and analysis. However, if you are just beginning, the best place to start is with the GO-HST Primer.

The Calacs Data Handbook Section provides instructions on how to run the acs calibration software.

The Introduction to HST Data and the ACS Data Handbook are the primary references for data format and analysis information. PDF versions of the HST Introduction and the ACS Data Handbooks are also available.
