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 Module::Build 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, and Malcolm J.
