As it turns out, a good fraction of science is computer programming and scripting. Some of my scientific software is posted online here for public use. Most of the IDL code is designed to work with the rest of my personal code library; it may be easiest to download the entire directory tree (given as a tarball below) although the top-level programs are highlighted. This is not updated frequently. A "stand-alone" tarball is also made available for the latest release version of my LRIS pipeline (updated somewhat more frequently). The non-IDL codes do not have dependencies. Availability of documentation is highly variable, ranging from very comprehensive to completely nonexistent.

autophot Extremely easy but sophisticated one-line photometry


Data Reduction Pipelines:

LPipe LRIS automated reduction pipeline
qgemspec GMOS-N/S spectrum reduction pipeline

Simple fits catalog writers:

fitscat Catalog for any FITS image
lriscat Catalog LRIS data
gmoscat Catalog GMOS data
niricat Catalog NIRI data


Plotting:

Megaplot (IDL plotting wrapper, particularly useful for log-log plots with error bars. Also requires symplot.)
