Abstract: |
MUSE, a giant integral field spectrograph, is about to become the newest
facility instrument at the VLT. It will see first light in February
2014. Here, we summarize the properties of the instrument as built and
outline functionality of the data reduction system, that transforms the
raw data that gets recorded separately in 24 IFUs by 4k CCDs, into a
fully calibrated, scientifically usable data cube. We then describe
recent work regarding geometrical of the instrument and
testing of the processing pipeline, before concluding with results of
the Preliminary Acceptance in Europe and an outlook to the on-sky
commissioning. |
