| Abstract: |
The Observatory Reduction and Acquisition Control (ORAC) project is a comprehensive re-implementation of all existing instrument user interfaces and data handling software involved at the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT). This paper addresses the design of the data reduction part of the system. Our main aim is to provide data reduction facilities for the new generation of UKIRT instruments of a similar standard to our current software packages, which have enjoyed success because of their science-driven approach. Additionally we wish to use modern software techniques in order to produce a system that is portable, flexible and extensible so as to have modest maintenance requirements, both in the medium and the longer term. |
