SIPGI: an interactive pipeline for spectroscopic data reduction

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2022-12-13 v1 Astrophysics of Galaxies

Abstract

SIPGI is a spectroscopic pipeline for the data reduction of optical/near-infrared data acquired by slit-based spectrographs. SIPGI is a complete spectroscopic data reduction environment retaining the high level of flexibility and accuracy typical of the standard "by-hand" reduction methods but with a significantly higher level of efficiency. This is obtained exploiting three main concepts: 1) a built-in data organiser to classify the data, together with a graphical interface; 2) the instrument model (analytic description of the main calibration relations); 3) the design and flexibility of the reduction recipes: the number of tasks required to perform a complete reduction is minimised, preserving the possibility to verify the accuracy of the main stages of data-reduction process. The current version of SIPGI manages data from the MODS and LUCI spectrographs mounted at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) with the idea to extend SIPGI to support other through-slit spectrographs.
