Plans For the STScI STIS Pipeline I: Overview

2

TL;DRAbstract

In this ISR we describe the overall design of the STScI STIS calibration pipeline, from generic conversion through the STSDAS calibration software, calstis. Included are a description of the pipelines’s goals in priority order, a discussion of the need for ‘contemporaneous calibration’ (a new aspect of the STIS pipeline relative to the existing ones), and a description of the output products from the STIS pipeline, including a brief description of the FITS image extension files to which the science data will be written. In addition the calibration switches and files used to control the calibration of data in the pipeline are presented, the high level design of the calstis software is described, and the flow of different types of STIS data through the STIS pipeline are illustrated.
