Design Aspects of the JWST Calibration Pipeline Software
نویسنده
چکیده
Some considerations relating to the design of the JWST Calibration pipelines are presented. Much of the code for calibrating the detectors can be shared among the instruments, and the fact that several observing modes are common to more than one instrument means that it makes sense to design the pipelines to calibrate observing modes rather than instruments.

Calibration concept for the JWST Near - infrared Spectrograph ( NIRSpec )
This document provides a discussion of the basic calibration needs and calibration time consumption for the Near Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on JWST. The current version assumes that slits for multi object spectroscopy will be formed via a microelectromechanical system and that NIRSpec will carry internal continuum and line lamps.
متن کاملRadiometric Calibration Pipeline for the EO-1 Advanced Land Imager
This paper covers the design and initial performance analysis of the radiometric calibration pipeline software for the EO-1 Advanced Land Imager (EO-1). The design and implementation of the software and of the radiometric calibration database are discussed. Radiometric calibration data were gathered in the laboratory during integration and test and were used for initializing the database. This ...
متن کاملComparison of Super-Sky and Self-Calibration Flat Fields for Simulated Mid-Infrared JWST Images
The efficacy of two different flat-field calibration methods for JWST are considered. Flat fields obtained by the co-addition of sky flats and those obtained via self-calibration are quantitatively compared. Both methods can produce flat fields with an accuracy of a few parts in 105 that satisfy the JWST science requirements, as long as the instrumental response and background properties remain...

متن کاملData Structures in STIS and NICMOSA
The new instruments to be installed during the 1997 servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope present challenges of managing complex associations among a variety of data. The data structures and the design of the I/O software interface to support these instruments are presented. The signiicance of this software architecture to the design of calibration algorithms is that it allows the im...
