Abstract:

The ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis (PIA) is the software tool of choice for the scientific analysis of ISOPHOT data. It is used in more than 200 astronomy institutes all over the world and it has been continuously upgraded during and after the operational phase of the ISO mission. Special enhancements concerning the analysis of imaging spectrophotometry data as well as the inclusion of a raster data simulation package within the PIA capabilities are discussed here.
