The software presented on this page has been created and contributed by Spitzer observers. It is listed in reverse chronological order, corresponding to when we received the software or resource submission.

CAVEAT: These tools have not necessarily been developed or tested by the SSC, and are therefore not necessarily supported by the SSC. The email address of the contributor is supplied if s/he wishes to provide support, and s/he should be contacted directly.

Any contributed software products may not be compatible with our Post-BCD software, especially those that alter header information.

A large grid of model YSO SEDs The website includes a browser to search for model SEDs of YSOs at a variety of evolutionary stages for a large range of parameters, and ASCII files with convolved fluxes and magnitudes (including IRAC and MIPS) for all of the models.

Also available is a tool which allows users to enter photometry (e.g. IRAC and MIPS photometry, or points from an IRS spectrum) and search for all of the models in the grid which provide a good fit.
Thomas Robitaille (University of St. Andrews) Web based A large grid of model YSO SEDs 9 May 2007
STINYTIM PSF simulator (now includes post-launch values!) J. Krist (JPL) C code Download from this page 28 Mar 2005, updated 26 Jul 06
Convolution kernels Kernels for convolution to lower resolutions K. Gordon (U. Arizona) web resource Convolution Kernels 21 Mar 2005
ZODIPIC Synthesizes images of debris disks based on the Kelsall et al. 1998 model of the COBE DIRBE infrared background using an adaptive-mesh type algorithm. As a default, ZODIPIC creates an image of the solar zodiacal cloud as seen from 10 pc, but it contains many parameters that are tweakable from the command line, making it a handy general-purpose model for optically-thin debris disks that yields both accurate images and photometric information simultaneously. The latest version can compute images as seen through a linear polarizer. M. Kuchner (Princeton) IDL download from this page 17 Mar 2005
