Abstract / Description of output
We are developing a new matched aperture pipeline for data archived by
the Wide Field Astronomy Unit (WFAU), in Edinburgh. This pipeline will
initially be used on data in the VISTA Science Archive (VSA), WFCAM
Science Archive (WSA) and OmegaCam Science Archive (OSA). The pipeline
will use two types of extractor: imcore_list, designed by the Cambridge
Astronomy Survey Unit, which takes a list of positions and then extracts
the flux in a set of images at those positions, and SExtractor, which
can be run in dual image mode, between a master image and a set of
images that will be extracted from. The pipeline will run in several
modes: large-scale matching between several bands (or epochs) in the
same survey, large-scale matching across multiple and a user defined
list of targets. We will discuss how this pipeline will fit into the
existing curation software for the VSA, WSA and OSA and the data-model
for the new pipeline processes.
