... The SF does not contain all the information required to process the ODF with the SAS. odfingest extends the SF with data extracted from the instrument housekeeping data files and the calibration database. It creates a new summary file: the SAS ODF Summary File (SOSF). ... The user need not have write access to the ODF directory. odfingest uses the parameter outdir to learn where to write the SOSF. ... Alternatively, the name of the SOSF can be passed to odfingest with the parameter summaryfile . ...

In my final Feast of Facts at RSAA, I will summarise the outcomes of our ~3-year program to observe supernovae, which I have dubbed the ANU+WiFeS SuperNovA Program (AWSNAP). In ~80 nights of observing, we have collected 440 spectra of 232 unique targets, and have classified 67 supernovae. With the aid of a new observing database and database-driven interface to the PyWiFeS reduction package, we have reprocessed the last three years of data and will release our spectra publicly later this year. ...

... 2011 September 7 . SDSS J102915+172927: A Star That Should Not Exist . ... Explanation: Why does this star have so few heavy elements? Stars born in the generation of our Sun have an expected abundance of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium mixed into their atmospheres. Stars born in the generation before our Sun, Population II stars , the stars that created most of the heavy elements around us today, are seen to have some, although fewer, elements heavier than H and He. ...
