The new archive requests of science data will
automatically deliver data files that have been properly run through
SAAclean.
The following IDL routine, saa_clean, written by Eddie Bergeron to remove cosmic ray persistence from science data, is now available for
download. Please note that this is a g-zipped tar file. In order to unpack (un-zip and un-tar) this file for use, type the following commands
at your command prompt:
Included in the download are demonstration data, a copy of the ISR detailing this algorithm, as well as the saa_clean idl software package.
Also included is a README file, instructing how to use the routine.
Note: this software was updated on March 11, 2004. Included in the updated version are
several bug fixes and some necessary library
routines, which are now included by default.
The IDL software is available on an as-is basis. This IDL routine is not supported by STScI personnel. See
ISR-2003-010 for details on the algorithm.
