First Group Meeting

Evan and I met to discuss the start of his SIP work. We are currently persuing three projects:

1. Learning Python
2. Exploring images of the Crab Nebula
3. Reading the Schweitzer et. al. Paper

We also talked briefly about stellar evolution, and how Pulsars form.

Title: Notes on Installing IRAF Author: Alexander Rudy

Introduction

We're going to install [IRAF][] and [PYRAF][] on a MacMini. Our MacMini uses [MacPorts][] to manage most things, so a lot of software will be checked and updated using [MacPorts][]. The installation instructions are mostly done stream of conciousness as I went through everything. It turns out that despite [IRAF][]'s big, scary, horrible nature, this process is not too complicated for a basic, working setup.

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND:

• I use [MacPorts][] whenever possible, and almost always for Python things. If your numpy, matplotlib or ipython installations are wierd, you're in for a ride.
• Also, I don't do much interactively in PyRAF, so if you do, you may find bugs. Let me know!
