... The routine processing of STIS data in the calibration ``pipeline" requires an interrelated set of software tasks and databases developed and maintained by many groups at STScI. We present the systems-level design of this calibration pipeline from the perspective of the STIS instrument group at STScI. We describe the multiple interfaces to the pipeline processes that the STIS group works across in an effort to provide for the routine calibration of STIS data. ... For example, the STIS group: . ...

The first EGRET catalog ([ Fichtel et al. 1994b ]) covered Phase 1 of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) viewing program which began shortly after launch of the observatory on 1991 April 5 and ended on 1992 November 17. ... No additional solar flares were seen during Phase 2; therefore, the first EGRET catalog summary has not been updated in the present work. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... The Miriad task uvgen can be used to simulate a variety of observing modes. ... Simulating a telescope approximately, let alone in some detail, requires a good many parameters. uvgen takes an appreciable number of parameters and input files to describe the telescope, correlator and source. Fortunately keyword and set-up files for some common situations exist ( e.g. simulating the ATCA and VLA). ... For example, to load typical parameters for the ATCA, use miriad% source $MIRCAT/uvgen.def.atca . ...
