Citing IRAF in paperStarted by:will.flanagan, 05/11/2009 09:49PM
Hi IRAFers,

I was wondering if there is any standard
way of citing IRAF in a paper. From the
papers I've seen, it seems most common
just to say something like "we made use
of IRAF packages x, y, and z. NOAO pays
the bills for IRAF." in the body of the

Amazing computer learning programStarted by:Jason Quinn, 04/05/2009 01:59PM
For those interested in such things, a
paper was recently submitted about a
program that can extract physical laws
from raw datasets. Sounds too good to be
true but apparently it is real. Check
out this website (includes an excellent
youtube video) expl...

question regarding IRAF's 16 frame ii...Started by:Jason Quinn, 05/15/2008 11:29PM
I'm curious what architectural
limitations on the number of display
frames that IRAF can support are. How
difficult would it be to increase it to
32? 512? 1024? Why have a limitation at
all? I'm not sure how the image servers
manage memory but it seems ...

typo fix for daophot.psfStarted by:Jason Quinn, 11/24/2007 05:09AM
The DAOPHOT psf task has a typo in its
parameters. There's a missing period.
Check the epar for the pstfile
parameter. It is

"Input psf star list(s) (default:
image.pst?)"

when it should be

"Input psf star list(s) (default:
image.pst.?)"

While we're all IRAF-users here, it's
probably noteworthy for more than a few
Macintosh Astronomers here than IDL is
now available a universal binary.
