Astro::FITS::HdrTrans module ---------------------------- What is it? ----------- Astro::FITS::HdrTrans and associated sub-classes are tools for translating instrument-specific FITS headers into generically named headers. Requirements ------------ The Astro::FITS::HdrTrans module has minimal requirements on other modules; only Carp and Time::Piece are required. Instrument-specific sub-classes of Astro::FITS::HdrTrans may require other modules to be installed, depending on the transformations those sub-classes make. As an example, the translation sub-class for IRIS2 (an imaging spectrometer used at the Anglo-Australian Telescope) requires Math::Trig in order to do zenith distance to airmass translations. Adding Subclasses ----------------- Adding subclasses to do translations for other instruments should be fairly straight-forward. Detailed documentation can be found in the Astro::FITS::HdrTrans::Base class. Where can I get it? ------------------- The package is available from CPAN . Installation ------------ Installation is automated using the ExtUtils::MakeMaker library % perl Build.PL % ./Build % ./Build test % ./Build install Authors ------- The module was written by Brad Cavanagh and Tim Jenness of the Joint Astronomy Centre (JAC) in Hawaii.

Please use CPAN RT for bug reports and github pull requests for patches. The source code repository is at git://github.com/timj/perl-Astro-FITS-HdrTrans.git Changes ------- v0.01 - initial test release to CPAN v0.02 - Change licence in README to be same as Perl. Add copyright statement. Add requirement on Test::More and Time::Piece to Makefile.PL. v0.03 - Licence should have been GPL v0.05 - Major rewrite of internals. Supports all UKIRT and JCMT instruments v1.50 - Includes support for SCUBA-2 and many fixes for ACSIS. v1.51 - Use Module::Build - Minor fix for polarimeter recipe in ACSIS v1.52 - Add LCOG instruments (thanks to Tim Lister) - Added OBSERVATION_ID_SUBSYSTEM - Many improvements to JCMT translations. - Astro::SLA is now only required for NIRI translations.
