| Description |
The
remarkable science capabilities of the Chandra
X-ray Observatory demanded new, flexible, multi-dimensional
software to analyze the data it returned. The result is CIAO, a
system that has proven itself useful for the analysis of data from
other, non-X-ray missions, because of the mission independence
that is the basis of the CIAO design. |
| Version installed |
Ubuntu 22.04:
CIAO v4.17 (installed in March 2025).
|
| Usage |
First define the following alias:
the command prompt, type:
alias ciao="source /opt/SIE/heasoft/ciao-4.17/bin/ciao.bash"
Then simply type ciao, and CIAO will be setup and
ready to use in that terminal window.

New for CIAO. |
