2dfdr Data Reduction Software

2dfdr is an automatic data reduction pipeline dedicated to reducing multi-fibre spectroscopy data, with current implementations for AAOmega (fed by the 2dF, KOALA-IFU, SAMI Multi-IFU or older SPIRAL front-ends), HERMES, 2dF (spectrograph), 6dF, and FMOS.

A graphical user interface is provided to control data reduction and allow inspection of the reduced spectra. You can reduce most of your data by simply pressing START AUTO REDUCTION in the Graphical User Interface.

Downloads

The current publicly released versions of 2dfdr are available for both Mac and Unix platforms. There are also weekly builds available under the "Weekly" folder.

In general, the Mac OS versions will run on newer versions for which there is not an official release, but if you have trouble contact Data Central.

Other Versions

In addition to the current public release, ongoing development is captured in beta releases, and occasionally it may be appropriate to use an older version for some situations. Contact DataCentral if you would like to be get access older version or beta releases.
