1.-
Exporting NEWSTAR FITS to other FITS formats
and to CLASS
ASTE telescope control and data
system is based in the 45 m radiotelescope at
the Nobeyama Radio Observatory system. So, the
data reduction is intended to be perform with
NewStar. This is reduction software
based on AIPS developed
at NRAO, and it is extended to treat single
dish and to have a graphical user interface
(GUI).
Because, NEWSTAR is not available in any institution,
and restriction regarding the floating point
precision for reducing the RAW data. We advise
to do the basic reduction on the ASTE facility
at San Pedro de Atacama ASTE NEWSTAR FITS can
be successfully exported to other reduction
and visualization software such as CLASS, xs,
or IRAF. This can be done with this IDL
code;
- nclass.pro Version 1.0 (Converts a NewStar
FITS to FITS file that can be exported to CLASS
or XS; developed by Juan Cortés, Universidad
de Chile - NAOJ, program control and revised
parameter by Neil Nagar, Universidad de Concepción)
Here is a simple tutorial for exporting
NEWSTAR FITS can be found at How
to export NEWSTAR FITS files to other FITS formats
and to CLASS.

2.- Source Visibility
at Pampa La Bola
This is a simple IDL code developed
to see if your source it is visible at ASTE
site (Pampa La Bola) in any time of the year.
The program displays and creates hardcopies
(PS files) of Az-El tracks of your source with
respect to the LST and UT.
The program can be found at
- Azelplot.pro Version 1.0 (developed by Juan Cortés
and Paulo Cortés, Universidad de Chile).
Please also download the routine radec2azel.pro and compile it first, before
running Azelplot.
