| Abstract: |
The Dark Energy Survey Project and NOAO have produced a world class,
large format camera for the CTIO Blanco Telescope. This camera, called
the Dark Energy Camera or DECam, with 62 CCDs and a ∼20 second
readout is capable of producing a very large amount of data. NOAO and
the DES Data Management (DESDM) team have worked together to develop a
Community Pipeline (CP) to produce calibrated data products for
community users (the DES has its own dedicated pipeline with the same or
similar components). First light and commissioning occurred in the fall
of 2012 and the camera and pipeline have had nearly a year of operation
and evolution. The CP has recently reach a production level with good
data quality products. This paper provides an overview of this DECam
Community Pipeline. |
