Performance of the UVIT Level-2 Pipeline

Abstract

Performance of the Level-2 pipeline, which translates the UVIT data created by the ISRO's ground segment processing systems (Level-1) into astronomer ready scientific data products, is described. This pipeline has evolved significantly from experiences during the in orbit mission. With time, the detector modules of UVIT developed certain defects which led to occasional corruption of imaging and timing data. This article will describe the improvements and mitigation plans incorporated in the pipeline and report its efficacy and quantify the performance.
