1 """The nictools package holds Python tasks useful for analyzing NICMOS data.
2 Although these tasks are normally run via the STSDAS interface, they may be
3 used directly.
4
5 These tasks include:
6 saaclean.py - for removing SAA persistence from an SAA-affected exposure
7 puftcorr.py - for estimating and removing "Mr. Staypuft" artifact
8 rnlincor.py - for correcting the countrate-dependent nonlinearity in
9 a NICMOS image.
10
11 This release also includes alpha versions of the following tasks:
12 CalTempFromBias: calculate the temperature from the bias present in an image
13 NicRemPersist: remove a general persistence signal using a medianed
14 persistence model.
15
16 Utility and library functions used by these tasks are also included in this
17 module.
