Introduction

I have compiled here a compendium of various data reduction packages that I know about. I include a modest discussion of what each is suppose to do and where you can pick up the software. With some, I provide more details and will provide some notes on my experiences.

Long Slit and Multi-Object Spectra

These are packages of software for reducing multi-slit optical spectra, though can be used for reducing long slit data as well. The instruments would be DEIMOS, LRIS and NIRSPEC.

Multi-Order Spectra

These are packages for reducing spectra from multi-order spectrometers. These are usually cross-dispersed, such as data from HiRes or ESI, NIRES, and NIRSPEC.

IFU Spectra

These are pipelines for the two Keck IFU instruments. Both have special purpose pipelines written in IDL that were written by the instrument team. In addition, PypeIt is working on supporting KCWI.
