The PyKOALA python library: a multi-instrument package for IFS data reduction
Pablo Corcho-Caballero, Yago Ascasibar, Ángel R. López-Sánchez +8
PyKOALA is an innovative Python-based library designed to provide a robust and flexible framework for Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) data reduction. By addressing the complexiti…
VSTPOL: making the VST a large survey telescope for optical polarimetry
P. Schipani, S. Covino, F. Snik +30
Since the start of operations in 2011, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) has been one of the most efficient wide-field imagers in the optical bands. However, in the next years the Ver…
ScopeSim: A flexible general purpose astronomical instrument data simulation framework in Python
Kieran Leschinski, Hugo Buddelmeijer, Oliver Czoske +3
ScopeSim is a flexible multipurpose instrument data simulation framework built in Python. It enables both raw and reduced observation data to be simulated for a wide range of teles…
Euclid preparation: I. The Euclid Wide Survey
R. Scaramella, J. Amiaux, Y. Mellier +238
Euclid is an ESA mission designed to constrain the properties of dark energy and gravity via weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering. It will carry out a wide area imaging…
MICADO: first light imager for the E-ELT
R. Davies, J. Schubert, M. Hartl +80
MICADO will equip the E-ELT with a first light capability for diffraction limited imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The instrument's observing modes focus on various flavours o…
Euclid Definition Study Report
R. Laureijs, J. Amiaux, S. Arduini +216
Euclid is a space-based survey mission from the European Space Agency designed to understand the origin of the Universe's accelerating expansion. It will use cosmological probes to…
The Astro-WISE Optical Image Pipeline: Development and Implementation
J. P. McFarland, G. Verdoes-Kleijn, G. Sikkema +3
We have designed and implemented a novel way to process wide-field astronomical data within a distributed environment of hardware resources and humanpower. The system is characteri…
Science and Adaptive Optics Requirements of MICADO, the E-ELT adaptive optics imaging camera
R. Davies, the Micado team
MICADO is the adaptive optics imaging camera being studied for the E-ELT. Its design has been optimised for use with MCAO, but will have its own SCAO module for the initial operati…
