MACAO-CRIRES commissioning

If you were looking for CRIRES IR spectroscopic data, please use the archive pages to start with.

The commissioning run of the adaptive optics of the CRIRES instrument took place in Spring 2006, using the AO-module now feeding the high-resolution IR-spectrograph.

The data were acquired using an infrared test camera, with a manual filter wheel. Therefore, no relevant information about the filter used can be retrieved from the header. Nevertheless, most images were acquired in K-narrow band, unless otherwise specified.

As these data are not the standard output of a VLT instrument, no pipeline is provided to process them. Please contact the author of this page for more information.

As already mentioned, the camera used for acquiring these data is not a scientific instrument, therefore standard calibration procedures are difficult or impossible to perform. Please contact the author of this page for more information.
