This site provides access to all the documents generated by CASU for the UK review being held on the 24th & 25th October 2006 at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
Documentation for the Science Archive design by the WFAU group is available at http://www.roe.ac.uk/~nch/wfcam.
Specific documents
provides an overview of various aspects of the UK pipeline and discusses
the UK user requirements document ,
an updated version in response to the UK review recommendations is now
available here.
provides a detailed description of the algorithms used and details
of the modules and their interfaces as delivered to ESO. These provide
the pawprint processing part of the UK pipeline. For the most recent
version click here.
This is an ESO deliverable describing the calibration procedures for VIRCAM,
which are the same whichever reduction software is subsequently
employed.
this is a draft of a MNRAS paper mainly describing the algorithmic
and technical aspects of the WFCAM pipeline. Virtually all of this
methodology is applicable to the VIRCAM pipeline.
this explains the procedures developed to calibrate
WFCAM data. VISTA photometric calibration is expected to be similar.
description and reference to the
web pages showing the status of pipeline processing and survey progress
for WFCAM
Other relevant papers
a description of application of CASU list-driven photometry techniques to
generate milli-mag precision lightcurves.
