XRISM Data Analysis


XRISM Analysis Software

This page contains links to documents and information on the XRISM analysis software, provided by the XRISM Science Data Center (SDC). The XRISM tools, once publicly released, will be incorporated into the HEASoft suite of tools.

The latest HEASoft release, which contains the archival Hitomi software suite, can be found at:
       HEASoft (current version)

At this time, XRISM tools are not available to the general public and are still under development. The tools will be made available when XRISM launches.

The XRISM Science Data Center is also producing a quick-look spectral analysis tool, X-ray Spectrum Line IDentification and Exploration (XSLIDE).


Community Workshops

Since 2023, yearly workshops are organized to help the scientific community to familiarize with XRISM and its unique capabilities. These XRISM Community Workshops focus essentially on GO proposal preparation and/or data reduction analysis. Material from past workshops (videos, presentation slides) are publicly available (see links below).
