MUSE HUDF survey I, Section 4: data and reproduction pipeline for photometry and astrometry

<p>Necessary data&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://akhlaghi.org/reproducible-science.html">Reproduction pipeline</a>&nbsp;for <a href="https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2017/12/aa30833-17/aa30833-17.html#S14">Section 4</a> of &quot;<em>The MUSE Hubble Ultra Deep Field Survey: I. Survey description, data reduction and source detection</em>&quot;, Bacon et al. (2017), <a href="https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2017/12/aa30833-17/aa30833-17.html">Astronomy &amp; Astrophysics, 608, A1</a>. The purpose of this section in the paper is to show the photometric and astrometric precision&nbsp;of the processed <a href="http://muse-vlt.eu/science/">MUSE</a> 3D data cubes discussed in the paper&nbsp;(pseudo-broad-band images created from the cubes)&nbsp;in comparison with&nbsp;broad-band images of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).</p> <p>This repository on Zenodo contains all the necessary input data, software and <a href="http://akhlaghi.org/reproducible-science.html">reproduction pipeline</a>&nbsp;(containing the scripts, configuration files and settings to exactly reproduce the results in&nbsp;Section 4 of the paper). Below is a description of the contents:</p> <ul> <li> <p><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/1163746/files/gnuastro-0.2.51-bc56.tar.gz"><code>gnuastro-0.2.51-bc56.tar.gz</code></a>: The version of <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuastro">GNU Astronomy Utilities</a>&nbsp;(Gnuastro) that is necessary for this pipeline. Gnuastro is a large collection of programs for astronomical data analysis on the command-line (and in scripts). Note that the reproduction pipeline <em>only</em> works with Gnuastro version 0.2.51, it will complain and abort if another version is installed.</p> <p>IMPORTANT NOTE: Since version 0.2.51 of Gnuastro was released, CFITSIO (one of Gnuastro&#39;s dependencies) has added a dependency for the cURL library (to read https URLs). Therefore, to install Gnuastro 0.2.51, please install <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/software/fitsio/c/cfitsio3410.tar.gz">CFITSIO version 3.41</a> or earlier.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/1163746/files/gnuastro-dependencies.tar.gz"><code>gnuastro-dependencies.tar.gz</code></a>: Software libraries necessary to build Gnuastro&nbsp;as it is used here. With these,&nbsp;a working C compiler is enough (currently only tested in a&nbsp;GNU/Linux environment) to exactly reproduce the results (tables).</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/1163746/files/hst-acs-images.tar.gz"><code>hst-acs-images.tar.gz</code></a>: Necessary images from HST&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/xdf/">eXtreme Deep Field</a>&nbsp;survey <a href="https://archive.stsci.edu/pub/hlsp/xdf">archives</a>. These images are not necessary to run the reproduction pipeline (they will be downloaded from the HST archives if not present). They are stored here for the self-sufficiency of this repository&nbsp;and faster download: in this lossless compressed format, they are roughly 1/3rd&nbsp;the volume of the same files in&nbsp;HST archives.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/1163746/files/hst-acs-throughputs.tar.gz"><code>hst-acs-throughputs.tar.gz</code></a>: The throughputs of HST Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) filters necessary in this study. These are also available from the <a href="http://www.stsci.edu/hst/acs/analysis/throughputs/tables">HST archives</a>&nbsp;and are kept here with similar reasons to above.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/1163746/files/muse-pseudo-broadband-images.tar.gz"><code>muse-pseudo-broadband-images.tar.gz</code></a>: Pseudo-broad-band images generated from the MUSE 3D data cube. These images&nbsp;are only released&nbsp;in this repository. However, to run the reproduction pipeline, it isn&#39;t necessary to download them directly from here. The script will download them from Zenodo automatically.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/1163746/files/reproduce-v1-4-gaafdb04.tar.gz"><code>reproduce-v1-4-gaafdb04.tar.gz</code></a>: The <a href="http://akhlaghi.org/reproducible-science.html">reproduction pipeline</a> (version 1-4-gaafdb04) that produces the results (tables) plotted in the paper. The full&nbsp;Git version controlled&nbsp;history of this repository is available on <a href="https://git-cral.univ-lyon1.fr/mohammad.akhlaghi/muse-udf-photometry-astrometry">git-cral.univ-lyon1.fr</a>&nbsp;or <a href="https://gitlab.com/makhlaghi/muse-udf-photometry-astrometry">gitlab.com</a>. We recommend cloning from the Git repository&nbsp;if it is available. This tarball is&nbsp;kept here in case those servers don&#39;t work or Git is no longer in common use.&nbsp;Please see the <code>README</code> file in this repository for instructions on how to run the reproduction pipeline&nbsp;and exactly reproduce the results. This pipeline will download all the necessary data if they aren&#39;t already present on the&nbsp;system (it is&nbsp;probably just necessary&nbsp;to install the required&nbsp;version of Gnuastro).</p> </li> </ul> <p>The Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0&nbsp;copyright mentioned in the Zenodo webpage is only applicable to files that don&#39;t have an explicit copyright within them.
