A release of the UVES pipeline recipes is now available !
A release of the UVES pipeline recipes is now available for the
reduction of data obtained by
UVES either in echelle mode or in fiber mode
The recipes can be run either using MIDAS,
or Gasgano
(running shell scripts provided by this release).
UVES Pipeline Recipes Latest Public Version
The latest public version of the UVES pipeline recipes is 2.9.10,
and is available
here. It requires the installation of the MIDAS data reduction package. I has been verified
with MIDAS release 12FEBpl1.2.
Information on the delivery content, platform supported, installation
procedure, how to test and use the pipeline, known problems and other
useful information is provided by the README
file, which we recommend the user to read before installing the
UVES pipeline.
Documentation
The UVES
Pipeline User Manual (9.0) (~888 Kb, 104 pages), is
available. Note that the manual is also included in the UVES
pipeline release, in the file VLT-MAN-ESO-2964-V9.PDF
The FLAMES
Pipeline User Manual (5.0) (~ 426 Kb, 83 pages), is
available. Note that the manual is also included in the UVES
pipeline release, in the file VLT-MAN-ESO-1900-3016-V5.PDF
Note that data reduction of ECHELLE data can be performed with higher
accuracy using the UVES CPL based pipeline.
Data reduction Quality Limitaions
The UVES RED Arm MIT detector has a dead column. For binning 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3
respectively, this is located at:
