Gaia data release 1, the photometric data
F. van Leeuwen, D. W. Evans, F. De Angeli +91
Context. This paper presents an overview of the photometric data that are part of the first Gaia data release. Aims. The principles of the processing and the main characteristics o…
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): PCA-based automatic cleaning and reconstruction of survey spectra
A. Marchetti, B. Garilli, B. R. Granett +34
Identifying spurious reduction artefacts in galaxy spectra is a challenge for large surveys. We present an algorithm for identifying and repairing residual spurious features in sky…
Gaia data release 1: Principles of the photometric calibration of the G band
J. M. Carrasco, D. W. Evans, P. Montegriffo +24
Context. Gaia is an ESA cornerstone mission launched on 19 December 2013 aiming to obtain the most complete and precise 3D map of our Galaxy by observing more than one billion sour…
Optimal stellar photometry for multi-conjugate adaptive optics systems using science-based metrics
P. Turri, A. W. McConnachie, P. B. Stetson +5
We present a detailed discussion of how to obtain precise stellar photometry in crowded fields using images from multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) systems, with the intent of…
Open high-level data formats and software for gamma-ray astronomy
Christoph Deil, Catherine Boisson, Karl Kosack +22
In gamma-ray astronomy, a variety of data formats and proprietary software have been traditionally used, often developed for one specific mission or experiment. Especially for grou…
On-sky tests of sky-subtraction methods for fiber-fed spectrographs
Myriam Rodrigues, Michele Cirasuolo, Francois Hammer +8
We present preliminary results on on-sky test of sky subtraction methods for fiber-fed spectrograph. Using dedicated observation with FLAMES/VLT in I-band, we have tested the accur…
