2. Example Notebooks¶
The following are example notebooks written by HSTaXe users and developers. They are divided by their corresponding instrument.
2.1. Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3)¶
The aXe WFC3 cookbook data can be downloaded by cloning this repository: https://github.com/npirzkal/aXe_WFC3_Cookbook
Enter the
aXe_WFC3_Cookbook
directory and work throughaXe_WFC3_Cookbook.ipynb
within the conda environment created as part of thehstaxe
installation.
2.2. Advanced Camera for Surveys¶
The aXe ACS cookbook and associated data can be downloaded from the following area: https://stsci.box.com/s/eo98zjtyccnoq7z73akfrx94jog3pg7j
2.3. aXe Cookbook Examples¶
There are also a couple simple test scripts in hstaxe/tests that can be run against the example data in the aXe cookbook:
run_acs_cookbook.py
: runs basic aXe against ACS data
run_cookbook.py
: runs basic aXe against WFC3 data from the cookbook
run_cookbook_part2.py
: runs axedrizzle against WFC3 data from the cookbook
2.4. Other Uses of aXe¶
aXe has been used successfully in several large science programs, such as GRAPES (ACS/WFC, [PIRZKAL1] ) and PEARS (ACS/WFC, [PIRZKAL2] ). The aXe software was central in extracting ACS/G800L and, using a customized version of aXe, NICMOS/G141 data within the corresponding Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA) projects (see [FREUDLING] and [KUMMEL4]).
