If you are an absolutely beginner with Herschel data and want to learn how to do photometry on PACS observations there are two places to start before working with data. First, you should look at the Quick Start Guide for Photometry (CSG), otherwise known as the PACS Data Reduction Launchpad: Photometry. This will teach you some of the basics of PACS data analysis. It will also guide you towards more detailed documentation that will explore photometry in more depth. Second, you should consult the Herschel Science Centre short videotutorial on Starting with PACS Photometry. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLHLA5Jjtiw The short videotutorial will talk you through the PACS photometry data products that are available in the Herschel Science Archive (HSA) and which products are best for the analysis of what type of object. You will be shown the structure of a PACS photometry observation when downloaded from the HSA and how the filename structure of a product tells you what type of product it is. You will be shown also what Highly Processed Data Products (HPDPs) - also known as "Expert Reduced Data Products" - are available and how they may be used. | |
