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.

    A Systematic Search for and Characterization of White Dwarf Binaries Across the H-R Diagram
    White dwarfs (WDs) are the endpoint of evolution for 97% of stars. Most of these stars are in multiple systems, and a significant fraction of those are compact enough to exchange mass, altering the structures and subsequent evolution of both stars. The physical mechanisms that facilitate these mass exchanges include common envelope evolution, Roche

    ROSALIA: ROman Sky Analyst for Low surface brightness Imaging & Astronomy
    Diffuse emission in the outskirts of galaxies, such as stellar tidal streams, galaxy stellar halos and intracluster light, provides important constraints on the structure and evolution of the Universe. However, such low surface brightness diffuse emission can be up to thousands of times dimmer (>29 AB mag/[square arcseconds]) than the sky

    Deep HST Imaging Favors the Bulgeless Edge-on Galaxy Explanation for the Hypothetical Stellar Wake Created by a Runaway Supermassive Black Hole
    A long linear structure recently discovered could be the stellar wake produced by the passage of a runaway supermassive black hole (SMBH) or, alternatively, a bulgeless edge-on galaxy. We report on new very deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging that seems to be in tension with the SMBH runaway scenario but is consistent with the bulgeless edge-on
