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…

We have processed the data accumulated with INTEGRAL SPI during 4 years (~ 51 Ms) to study the Galactic ``diffuse'' emission morphology in the 20 keV to 8 MeV energy range. To achieve this objective, we have derived simultaneously an…

The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) provides continuum images and magnetograms with a cadence better than one per minute. It has been continuously observing the Sun 24 hours a day for the past 7 years. The obvious trade-off between…

We present the results of both laboratory and on sky astrometric characterization of the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI). This characterization includes measurement of the pixel scale of the integral field spectrograph (IFS), the position of the…

With the advent of next generation high resolution telescopes, our understanding of how the magnetic field is organized in the internetwork (IN) photosphere is likely to advance.We aim to evaluate the extent to which we can retrieve…

This paper describes the software DRAGraces (Data Reduction and Analysis for GRACES), which is a pipeline reducing spectra from GRACES (Gemini Remote Access to the CFHT ESPaDOnS Spectrograph) at the Gemini North Telescope. The code is…

Ground-based astronomical observations at thermal infrared wavelengths face the problem of extracting the weak astronomical signal from the large and rapidly variable background flux. The observing strategy most commonly used, the so-called…

A key tool in the package of software available for the analysis of data from the SPI spectrometer of Integral is the SPIROS system developed at the University of Birmingham. Although intended primarily for the analysis of point sources and…

The rapid growth of solar data is driving changes in the typical workflow and algorithmic approach to solar data analysis. We present recently deployed tools to aid this evolution and layout the path for future development. The majority of…

Time domain astronomy has both increased the data volume and the urgency of data reduction in recent years. Spectra provide key insights into astrophysical phenomena but require complex reductions. Las Cumbres Observatory has six…

The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) has just started producing data that will help determine what the sources and mechanisms of variability in the Sun's interior are. The instrument measures the Doppler shift and the polarization of…

Modern interferometers routinely provide radio-astronomical images down to subarcsecond resolution. However, interferometers filter out spatial scales larger than those sampled by the shortest baselines, which affects the measurement of…

We present a new Hybrid Photometry and Extraction Routine: Hyper. It is designed to do compact source photometry allowing for varying spatial resolution and sensitivity in multi-wavelength surveys. Hyper combines multi-Gaussian fitting with…

Traditional image acquisition for cryo focused ion-beam scanning electron microscopy tomography often sees thousands of images being captured over a period of many hours, with immense data sets being produced. When imaging beam sensitive…

Reconstruction of multidimensional signals from the samples of their partial derivatives is known to be a standard problem in inverse theory. Such and similar problems routinely arise in numerous areas of applied sciences, including optical…

We easily tend to think of Integral-Field Spectrographs (IFS) along two opposing trends: as either the beautiful combination between photometry and spectroscopy, or as our worst nightmare including the dark side of both worlds. I favour a…

We describe the data reduction and object cataloging for the GEMS survey, a large-area (800 arcmin^2) two-band (F606W and F850LP) imaging survey with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on HST, centered on the Chandra Deep Field South.

Hyperspectral images (HSI) classification is a high technical remote sensing tool. The main goal is to classify the point of a region. The HIS contains more than a hundred bidirectional measures, called bands (or simply images), of the same…
