NICMOS Tools

Links to tools for proposing, calibrating, and analysing NICMOS imaging, polarimetry, and spectroscopic data are provided.

Synthetic Dark Generator

Generate synthetic dark reference files corresponding to a specific temperature for MULTIACCUM data.

Synthetic Flat Generator

Generate synthetic flatfield reference files corresponding to a specific temperature for any imaging filter.

Post-SAA Persistance Removal Tool

IDL routine that removes cosmic ray persistance from science data impacted by SAA passages.

Color Dependent Flats

Two routines to generate color dependent flatfield reference files.

Unit Conversion Tool

Flux conversion between diverse unit systems.

Polarizer Tools

IDL routines to analyze polarimetry data.

GRISM Tools

Tools for spectrum extraction, object identification and classification and tips on estimating GRISM exposure times.

Imaging Exposure Time Calculator

Estimate integration times and Signal-to-Noise Ratios on a point-like or extended source, derive detection limits, and check saturation limits.

History Tool

Information on: plate scale, focus, coronagraphic hole location, previous SAA passages, and spacecraft attitude.

SAA Crossing Calculator

Find out how long after SAA passage your data was taken.

Attitude History Tool

Obtain plots of Solar Elongation vs. Time and Off-Nominal roll (in degrees) vs. time.
