Poster Presentation of »sTools« at the IAUS 327
by Christoph Kuckein on November 25, 2016
The Optical Solar Physics group from AIP presented the data reduction pipeline »sTools« at the IAU Symposium 327: »Fine Structure and Dynamics of the Solar Atmosphere« (October 9-14, 2016).
During the »Early Science Phase« of the 1.5-meter GREGOR telescope in 2014 and 2015, a huge data volume has been acquired with the GREGOR Fabry-Pérot Interferometer (GFPI), large-format facility cameras, and since 2016 with the High-resolution Fast Imager (HiFI). These data are processed in a standardized procedure with the aim of providing science-ready data for the solar physics community. For this purpose, we have developed a user-friendly data reduction pipeline called »sTools« based on the Interactive Data Language (IDL). The pipeline delivers reduced and image-reconstructed data with a minimum of user interaction. Furthermore, quick-look data are being generated, as well as a webpage with an overview of the observations and their statistics. The webpage can be found under the »Observations« tab on this website.
All the processed data are stored online at the GREGOR GFPI and HiFI data archive of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP). In the poster we described the basic principles of the pipeline and presented selected high-resolution spectral scans and images processed with sTools and acquired with the GFPI and HiFI instruments. sTools is under constant development and will be freely available in 2017. The pipeline is licensed under a creative commons license. A proceeding with more information will be published soon by Cambridge University Press.
