Exporting data products from HIPE

This page lists examples and recipes for exporting HIPE data (images, spectra, cubes and source lists) to external applications.

IDL

• Images

IDL> im = mrdfits('/path/image.fits',1)
% Compiled module: FXMOVE.
% Compiled module: MRD_HREAD.
% Compiled module: FXPAR.
% Compiled module: GETTOK.
% Compiled module: VALID_NUM.
% Compiled module: MRD_SKIP.
MRDFITS: Image array (2012,2009)  Type=Real*8
% Compiled module: SWAP_ENDIAN_INPLACE.
IDL> tv,im

• Spectra

IDL> spec = mrdfits('/path/1342187893_spectrum_point_HR_unapod.fits',2)
% Compiled module: MATCH.
% Compiled module: MRD_STRUCT.
MRDFITS: Binary table.  4 columns by  2061 rows.

• Cubes

IDL> cube = mrdfits('/path/1342192180_MR_SLW_unapod_cube.fits',2)
MRDFITS: Image array (16,18,374)  Type=Real*8

PACS Projected Cubes: The .fits structure is summarized in Sect. 1.15.4.3 of the Herschel Data Analysis Guide (http://herschel.esac.esa.int/hcss-doc-13.0#dag:Dag.DataIO.Fits)

CLASS

• The FITS files produced with the hiClass task in HIPE on HIFI data can be read in CLASS with the following commands

    file out MyHIFISpectra.hifi mul
    fits read MyHIFISpectra.fits
#
# Now you have a CLASS file named MyHIFISpectra.hifi (you can use whatever you want as an 
# extension) you can access like you always do in CLASS:
#
    file in MyHIFISpectra.hifi
    find
    get first
    set unit f i
    device image white
    plot

• For PACS data or any spectum1d product, you can try the this script (remove .txt extension before you load it in HIPE).

DS9

Simply go to File -> Open for images and cubes.
