Description
METIS will be the first-light mid-infrared instrument at the ELT. Given the expected performance of the ELT’s adaptive optics systems, METIS will be able to probe regions of the sky previously inaccessible to astronomers. In support of both the METIS integration and verification efforts as well as the astronomical community at large, the METIS pipeline team has begun work on the METIS data reduction pipeline. The METIS pipeline will be written mostly in Python to take advantage of the new data reduction tools released by ESO. The development schedule has been set in such a way that the pipeline team will be able to directly support the testing and verification efforts during the upcoming system integration phase for METIS. In order to ensure that the required pipeline functionality is available when it is needed, the recipes and workflows functionality has been broken down into four levels of readiness: skeleton, functional, performance, and science-grade. This breakdown aims to ensure a more agile approach to the pipeline implementation as well as enabling productive contributions from all members of the highly geographically distributed team.| Period | 17 Jun 2024 |
