The tutorials written here discuss a number of key parts of Astro-WISE, but they do not intend to be exhaustive. Here are collected some things that may be of further interest.
The Astro-WISE manual can be found here: http://www.astro-wise.org/docs/Manual.pdfhttp://www.astro-wise.org/docs/Manual.pdf.
Most of the manual (the HOW-TO's) can be read online. See http://www.astro-wise.org/portal/aw_howtos.shtmlhere (http://www.astro-wise.org/portal/aw_howtos.shtml). Use the menu on the left to navigate the HOW-TO's. Note that the suggested reading order is more or less top-to-bottom in that menu.
A number of existing number-crunching programs are used within Astro-WISE, such as SExtractor (source extraction), SWarp (regridding/coaddition), NumPy (various), Eclipse (image arithmetic, statistics etc.). Their manuals, as well as other documentation can be found on http://www.astro-wise.org/portal/aw_documents.shtmlthis page (http://www.astro-wise.org/portal/aw_documents.shtml)
This tutorial does not cover the web-services that are part of Astro-WISE. In short there are web-services for viewing the contents of the database, for processing data, and for (in-)validating existing data products. There is a Guided Tour that familiarizes one with them. You can find it at the Astro-WISE http://www.astro-wise.orghomepage (http://www.astro-wise.org) in the upper-left box.
Our source code is maintained using the Git versioning software. Git allows multiple people to work on a set of files, stores these files in a central place and keeps track of all changes to the files. The code is viewable on request for Astro-WISE members on our https://gitlab.astro-wise.orgGitLab server (https://gitlab.astro-wise.org). See also the http://www.astro-wise.org/portal/howtos/man_howto_git/man_howto_git.shtmlGit HOW-TO (http://www.astro-wise.org/portal/howtos/man_howto_git/man_howto_git.shtml).
Here is a short overview of the directory structure:
Top of directory structure: awe: awe/astro: Package | Provided functionality -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- config | Startup and environment/configuration files database | Astronomy specific database modules experimental | Experimental modules external | Python wrappers for tools such as LDAC, Sextractor and Swarp filerecipes | Data reduction recipes for use without database instrument | Instrument specific modules main | Modules for the pipeline processing of images plot | Various plotting modules recipes | Data reduction recipes (to create classes in "main") services | (Web-) services for astronomy test | Unittests toolbox | Scripts for ingestion, installation, various maintenance util | Utility modules usable throughout the code -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- awe/common: Package | Provided functionality -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- config | Startup and environment/configuration files database | Persistency mechanism and implementations of its interface log | Logging and messaging math | Mathematical Python routines such as statistics & least squares net | General network-related python modules services | Common (web-) services toolbox | Scripts for e.g. maintenance of the database, installation, etc. util | Routines for compression, checksumming, datetime manipulation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
