At ESO Headquarters in Garching, the Quality
Control and Data
Processing Group ("QC Garching") processes all calibration data from the Paranal
instruments (VLT, VLTI, survey cameras). Their quality is checked
and monitored. If certified, master calibrations are archived and offered to the community for reducing science data.
In addition, QC Garching processes pre-imaging science data.
For selected instruments and instrument modes, we create science-grade data products and offer them through the Query Pages of the Science Archive.
Find here information about the VLT/ VLTI pipelines.
Select by instrument for information about data types, QC parameters, trending, and pipeline recipes.
