These pages provide information about the automated Spitzer processing
pipeline at the SSC. The main categories of processing items are:
- Data Items: related to the detector and data collection process;
Example: the strong pattern noise on side-B of the 70 microns array.
- Calibration Items: affecting the calibration of the data;
Example: using scan mirror position and scan rate dependent flats for 24 microns data.
- Pipeline Items: directly associated with the processing steps of the pipeline;
Example: cosmic ray rejection is not functioning well.
The pipeline processing items are listed as a function of
SSC Operations software version number which gets incremented
with every release. A pipeline version with 2 digits, for example
S10.0, refers to major builds and releases where the data products
are likely affected. A pipeline version with 3 digits, for example
S10.0.1, means that a minor update or patch was applied to the SSC
operation system. These minor updates may or may not include
changes to the pipelines.
