Next: The ESO VLT CCD Detectors Software . ... Up: Instrument-Specific Software . ... The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

... HST . Errors in Processed TIME-TAG Data from STIS Now Corrected . ... Data . ... HST Peer Review Process . ... HST Overview . ... The previous ground processing software failed to properly trap these errors. As a result, gaps or jumps in time could occur in processed TIME-TAG data. ... All investigators working with STIS TIME-TAG data should read the more detailed discussion of possible problems, and if they believe that their data may have been affected, retrieve it again from the archive. ...

... Publications with ESO Data . ... The tools have been developed for ESO by a team of astronomers at the Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics at the University of Innsbruck, as part of an in-kind contribution to ESO , which includes as well a model of the sky emission and transmission spectrum at Cerro Paranal. ... Skycorr provides an advanced instrument-independent sky-correction tool that removes sky emission in science spectra by means of sky spectra taken at a different time and sky location....

An astronomer by training, I currently work at the Australia Telescope National Facility , part of the CSIRO . I am part of the computing group for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), where my job is to develop science analysis software for the ASKAP processing pipeline. The huge volumes of data that ASKAP will produce mean that all observations will be processed automatically in pipelines. ... Matthew Whiting . ... Australia . ...
