An Image Display Package for Herschel DP based on Jsky

摘要

The Data Processing software for ESA's Herschel Space Ob-servatory is written in JAVA as a joint effort of ESA and the three instru-ment teams. The observers as well as the instrument specialists will usea jython environment to reduce the science observations and to analysethe calibration measurements of the instrument. We describe the development of an image display package for Herschel DP (Data Processing) based on JSky, which is being developed as part ofthe Gemini Observing Tool and the difficulties we encountered in adapting the JSky library to the needs of Herschel DP. We give insights in theadaption to the Herschel DP data structures and the possibility to displayboth two- and three dimensional arrays and images. We describe thepower of using Jython as a frontend and the possibility to use this imagedisplay in GUI's written by or for observers.
