Description
The ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis PIA, is a calibration, scientific analysis and visualization tool for accessing and processing ISOPHOT data. ISOPHOT is one of the instruments on board the Infrared Space Observatory ISO, launched in November 1995 by the European Space Agency. PIA is an IDL based package, comprising around 1500 routines including a user friendly graphical interface. All the capabilities of input/output, processing and visualization can be reached from window menus, for all the different ISOPHOT sub-systems in all the different levels of data reduction. This applies, starting from digital raw data, coming from the ISO telemetry, to the final level of calibrated images, spectra, multi-filter, multi-aperture photometry. In this article the needs for such a dedicated package are explained, its development and main design features are described, and an overview of the PIA capabilities in the different areas is given.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In
