FUSE Processing at the CADC

FUSE datasets you retrieve from the CADC are currently those delivered to us from the STScI. These consist of products produced with various versions of the CalFUSE data reduction software ranging up to the current working (but not yet public) version 3.1.8. Version 3.2.0 of CalFUSE is expected to be available late in 2006 and the CADC then plans on consistently reprocessing the entire FUSE collection with this updated version of the software package.

When you retrieve processed files from the CADC's FUSE Science table you will receive multiple files automatically. Remember that the first four characters identify the proposal ID, the next two indicate the target, the next two the "visit" and the last three (000) distinguish the association from an individual member exposure. e.g. M1051801000 is an association of exposures of the first visit of target "18" for program M105, while M1051801002 is the second exposure for the first visit for the given target for the same program.

A summary of FUSE data file names can be found in the FUSE Instrument and Data Handbook. If you mark the above FUSE association (consisting of two exposures) for retrieval, after processing is completed you will be able to retrieve the following files:
