Data Pipelines & Calibration

The automated processing that turns raw telescope readouts into calibrated, science-ready data — removing instrument signatures, correcting for the atmosphere or detector, and attaching the metadata and error estimates that make the data usable by anyone.

Highlights

  • Raw detector counts become science-ready data

Knowledge connections
