Software
Pointed Observation Images (Phase 1 & 2) ver 1.0.1 was produced by processing the raw data with AKARI-IRC Imaging Toolkit ver.150331. Each data package includes the dark data used for processing.
AKARI-IRC Imaging Toolkit [tar.gz (26MB)]
Major improvements of ver.150331 are
- better calibration of time-dependent dark and MIR-S flat
- better stacking method
- better WCS matching
Please read README_20150331.txt included in the package and the Data Users Manual (listed below) before using the toolkit.
