Data Reduction
For a general description of CCD and spectroscopic data reduction,
see the IRAF data reduction guides. For example,
"A User's Guide to Reducing Slit Spectra with IRAF"
by Massey, Valdes & Barnes.
Other possibilities do of course exist, such as
IDL astronomy libraries and
Figaro (See also Chris Tinney's
Figaro extentions.)
Automated DBS data reduction
An automated reduction script for IRAF has been written and made
publicly available by Lisa Kewley. It is well documented and should
work fine, but is currently offered `as is' with no warrantee or
user support.
The link above is the latest version of Lisa's Script. It is required for
IRAF v.2.11. If you are running an older
IRAF, you may need a copy of the previous version. Here are the
script and the
user manual.
