Highlights

HIPE

HIFI

PACS

SPIRE

• FTS
  • Two new tasks and corresponding calibration products have been introduced for SPIRE FTS data. One task corrects for artefacts in low resolution point source calibrated spectra. The other corrects the level of all extended source calibrated data in or to get better agreement between the SPIRE Spectrometer and Photometer.

Images

* When requesting the unit, the FITS compatible unit is returned. * The naxis keywords are not longer duplicated in the fits header. * The Wcs ia added to all datasets of the images (like the stddev, ...).

Display

* Added shortcuts to some of the task directly in the image viewer.

Products and datasets

A new Auxiliary Observation Summary Product which can be retrieved using the tag LATEST_OBSERVATION_SUMMARY_PRODUCT. This product contains one dataset with a summary of information for each observation. Useful methods exist for querying the data as documented here: ObservationSummaryProduct

Observation context

A new Calibration Table Product exists under the Auxiliary Context in each Observation Context. This product contains calibration tables data for the given instrument including exactly how the hardware was configured, hard limits, soft limits etc. This provides valuable information for the long term completeness of an observation. Useful methods exist for querying the table data as documented here: SimpleCalTableProduct

Documentation

For HCSS 14, many figures were refreshed in both manuals (HIFI Data Reduction Guide and HIFI Pipeline Specification).

• Updates to the HIFI Data Reduction Guide:
  • Updates to the chapters Standing wave Removal and HIFI Baseline Removal : adding definition of the new parameter addMedianContinuum
  • Updates to the chapter Flags in HIFI data, section Quality Flags (this chapter is being revamped, please check regularly)
  • Updates to the chapter How to make a spectral cube: added a definition for parameters ignoreOffs, outputNames and extrapolate
  • Updates to the chapter Sideband Deconvolution: the output deconvolution product ssb is now called dataset (please note that scripts prior to this change will break)
  • Updates to the chapter Standing wave Removal, ESW correction in HEB bands section: update to the scripts in the demonstration subsection
  • Updates to the chapter How to add and remove flags, section Setting and Clearing Flags with command line tools: improved the definition of the parameter selection for Level 2.5 cubes
  • A new chapter called Understanding the uncertainty table information in your data has been added
• Updates to the HIFI Pipeline Specification manual
  • This manual has been restructured
  • Removal of the task mkSpur
  • Corrections to broken links pointing to the HIFI Data Reduction Guide
  • Correction due to a missing figure Level 0 Pipeline flow diagram
  • Added text to tasks which did not have text, or were poorly documented, including mkRms

Pipeline

Photometry

• Unimap: Unimap 6.2.0 is spawned by the Standard Product Generator (SPG) to create Level2.5 products. See the Photometer Data Reduction Guide and the offical Unimap webpages (http://infocom.uniroma1.it/unimap/) to know what's new about the 6.2.0 Unimap release.
• Level2.5 products:
  • Unimap and Jscanam maps are generated for Solar System Objects, by combining scan and cross-scan observations.
  • A block detection and masking method is implemented to avoid strong signal gradients generated by calibration blocks. The Quality of Level2.5 is enhanced in particular for observations acquired at the early stage of the mission (e.g. Science Demonstration Phase) where calibration blocks were acquired in the middle of the scans
• ipipe script:
  • the script scanmap_Unimap_memory_optimized is added within the Pipelines menu for allowing to run the Unimap release located on the user’s computer by using the minimum amount of memory. It is particularly useful for processing large observations or/and if several obsIDs want to be processed all together in a single run.
  • the photextended_pipeline_L3 script is available within the Pipelines menu to generate mosaics of Unimpa and Jscanam Level2.5 maps

Photometry

• The PhotometryConvolveResolution Kernel script was added within the PACS Useful Script section. This script convolves and regrids a map at a certain wavelength to the PSF of another map at longer wavelength, by using an appropriate kernel.

Spectroscopy

Product changes

Photometry

• The error layer within Unimap Level 2.5 products is renamed as stdDev, being the standard deviation computed at every sky pixel with respect to the samples that are falling on it. It can be properly assumed as the error map only if associated to the Naïve map.

SPIRE

Calibration Products

• Spectrometer
  • A new calibration product has been added that contains correction curves for point-source calibrated LR data.
  • A new calibration product has been added that contains polynomial coefficients that are used to generate correction curves for extended source calibrated data.

Calibration Framework

Preprocessing

Engineering Conversion

Common Pipeline

Photometer Pipeline

Spectrometer Pipeline

• A new task has been added to the point source pipeline that applies the LR correction.
• A new task has been added to all pipelines that applies the extended calibration correction in order to get better agreement between FTS and Phototmeter photometry.
