Software Packages

We have several analysis support libraries for working with the optical and riometer data we provide. Software is available for both Python and IDL.

PyAuroraX / IDL-AuroraX are for working with the optical data (all-sky imagers, spectrographs), and PyUCRio / IDL-UCRio are for working with the riometer data (single frequency riometers, hyper-spectral riometers).

GitHub Organizations

Our data access and analysis support software is open source and hosted on GitHub. The repositories are organized across two GitHub organizations:

• ucalgary-srs - General SRS data access libraries, RF instrument libraries
• aurorax-space - AuroraX Data Platform repositories, including ptical instrument libraries and other AuroraX platform tools
