Author

Gregory D. Wirth, W. M. Keck Observatory

Installation

  1. install this file in your home iraf directory
  2. execute (or add to your loginuser.cl file) this line: 
    task deep2iraf = home$deep2iraf.cl

Examples

  1. Convert DEEP2 spectrum into IRAF-compatible image koo.fits: 
    deep2iraf spec1d.KTRS02.031.1833.fits out=koo.fits
  2. Run "mysplot" on the DEEP2 spectrum without leaving a new file behind: 
    deep2iraf spec1d.KTRS02.031.1833.fits domysplot+

Restrictions

Must be run from a directory in which the user has access to generate temporary files.

Side Effects

The resulting spectrum is linearized and hence rebinned. CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!
