Java NEWSTAR is a java-based version of NEWSTAR - an astronomical data analyzing system of Nobeyama data - which can run on Linux and MacOSX.
The Java NEWSTAR is NOT compatibile with Windows systems because some background programs are written in Fortran and C.
Installation is "easier" and runs "lighter" than the original NEWSTAR because the Java NEWSTAR can run without AIPS.
Please send an e-mail to the staff when you download the files or if you have any questions.
Delete all old version files except data files before installation , or overwrite all old files with the new versions.
Linux
OS: CentOS 2.6 and others.
Copy the tar file (JNewstarLinux.tar) to your computer. Warning : A deep path is unsuitable. Length of a directory path should be shorter than 30 characters.
Expand the tar file.
tar xvf JNewstarLinuxYYMMDD.tar
Indispensable library
libgcc (i686)
For intallation :

At first, you have to open a file with control key.
Directory Structure
The following files and sub-directories can be found within JNewstarLinux or JNewstarMac.
Do NOT rename these files and sub-directories.
newstar.sh : the starting shell for Linux
newstar.app : the starting application for Mac OSX
data/ : default data directory
env/ : directory of parameters, history files and a definition file of the panel(.nsmenu)
java/ : directory of jar files and files for developments
tool/ : directory of tools
rexe/ : directory of executable files and shells (Linux and MacOSX files are different.)
lib/ : directory of library (Linux and MacOSX files are different.)
src/ : directory for developments
install/ : directory for developments
Data
You can use three types of data.
Those data are each outputs of "to disk for JavaNS" in "File Services" of original NEWSTAR from the NRO analysis machines (an01u and an02u).
Raw data(1998 and later)
Name : NNNNNNNN.YYMMDDHHMMSS.vv.nqm
Name : NNNNNNNN.YYMMDDHHMMSS.vv.nqf: Attached flag file
Spectrum data
NameqeNNNNNNNN.CCCCCC.vv.nsm
Image data (Image FITS)
NameqeNNNNNNNN.CCCCCC.vv.nmm
Note
NNNNNNNN : ASCII string less than or equal to 8 characters
CCCCCC : ASCII string less than or equal to 6 characters
vv : number less than 2 characters
Copy these data files to your computer.
Starting up
Linux
Execute newstar.sh
MacOSX
Double-click newstar.app
Differences from Original NEWSTAR
You can open multiple windows even if they are the same tasks.
The position map and data profile are displayed on different TTTs.
You can change the name of a file and move it on your operating system if it meets the naming rules.
You can save the parameters of a task into a specified file(line feed: LF codes in the file; i.e. UNIX standard). (Parameters Menu)
The output files of MAP are FITS cubes.
Known Problems
Number of lines on TTT is limited to twenty thousands.
