WITS the WEB Infrared Tool Shed
|
|
|
| Using a previous NASA ADP type 2 grant, we created a well known and user tested WEB based tool for the analysis of dust continuum and PhotoDissociation Region (PDR) observations. The WEB Infrared Tool Shed (WITS) contains two "toolboxes", the PDR Toolbox (PDRT) and the Dust InfraRed Toolbox (DIRT) and are currently available at http://dustem.astro.umd.edu or http://wits.ipac.caltech.edu. These toolboxes provide an extensive data base of PDR and dust continuum models which can be "mined", displayed, and manipulated using a Java user interface.
This proposal seeks to enhance these tools with an expanded data base of model sources, with additional algorithms and user options to find the best fit models for an input data set, and with modules tailored for the spectral and spatial responses of specific NASA instruments. |
