| AIT IDL-Library |
|
The AIT IDL-Library contains routines written at the Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Section Astronomy, of the University of Tübingen, Germany. Most of these routines have been written to analyze data from the X-ray satellite RXTE. If you have routines that might be of general interest feel free to submit them to the library!

| Hubble Telescope Repair - IDL's Role |
|
An article describing the role of IDL in helping repair the Hubble Space Telescope. From the article: "In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was placed in orbit and pointed at deep space. Astronomers around the world anxiously waited for images... However, instead of brilliant images unaffected by the inherent distortion of the Earth's atmosphere, the HST delivered fuzzy, blurred pictures that revealed little... The ease of writing and sharing applications, compiling data and visualizing results compelled Scowen and the team to use IDL, the Interactive Data Language, as the software language for testing, calibrating and analyzing data from the Wide Field/Planetary Camera-2 (WF/PC-2)."
