1 NHSC/PACS Web Tutorials Running PACS photometer pipelines PACS 201 (for Hipe 5.0) Level 0 to Level 1 processing: From raw to calibrated data cubes Prepared by Nicolas Billot and Roberta Paladini August page 1

2 IntroducCon NHSC PACS This tutorial presents the main steps of the standard pipeline stargng from the raw data cube (Level 0) to the calibrated data cube (Level 1). It also provides numerous break points to interacgvely check the intermediary results of the pipeline. DocumentaCon on PACS Photometry standard data processing: PACS Pipeline Reference Manual Chapter 3 Level 1 products from the archive can be used directly to build maps (see tutorial PACS 202). However it might be necessary to reprocess the raw data to Level 1 to use updated calibragon files or pipelines, and interacgvely improve the deglitching process for instance. Yet the Level 0 to 1 standard processing is already close to opgmum, and one should keep to a minimum modificagons to the pipeline. DefiniCon of data processing Levels: PACS Data ReducGon Guide SecGon page 2

3 Pre requisites: 1. HIPE is running (version 5.0), 2. You have completed the following tutorials: PACS 101 to 104: How to use these tutorials, load data and scripts in your HIPE session. 3. You know the idengficagon number of your observagon: OBSID In parallel to this tutorial, you can execute standard ipipe scripts available in HIPE (see tutorial PACS 102) or custom scripts available on the NHSC website hwps://nhscsci.ipac.caltech.edu/sc/index.php/pacs/dataprocessing (see Step 1 of this tutorial). - page 3

4 Level 0 to 1: Overview NHSC PACS Step 1 Load the script Step 2 Retrieve the Observa3onContext Step 3 Extract the frames and relevant informacon Step 4 From Level 0 to 0.5 Step 5 From Level 0.5 to 1 - page 4

5 Step 1 Load the relevant data reduccon script - page 5

6 What script should I use? ipipe scripts: ipipe (interacgve pipeline) scripts are part of HIPE. They are delivered and updated with new material with each release of HIPE. They are to be used as templates to reduce your data. You might want to SAVE AS and modify these scripts to suit the specifics of your own set of observagons (need for concatenagng scan/cross scan observagons, or modify deglitching parameters). Custom scripts: The NHSC provides examples of customized scripts based on ipipe scripts. They can be downloaded from our webpage hwps://nhscsci.ipac.caltech.edu/sc/index.php/pacs/dataprocessing We encourage you to write your own custom scripts stargng from the ipipe scripts and incorporagng processing steps specific to your own data set. Load your script following tutorials PACS page 6

7 Step 2 Retrieve the ObservaConContext - page 7

8 ObservaConContext: HIPE variable holding engre Herschel observagons. It contains the raw data cube as well as the data processed with the standard pipeline up to Level 0.5, 1 and 2. It also contains auxiliary informagon such as the telescope poingng, and all the calibragon files necessary to reprocess the data. DefiniCon of ObservaCon Content: Herschel Data Analysis Guide SecGon page 8

9 The ObservaConContext can be loaded in HIPE from the Herschel Science Archive (HSA) HIPE> obsid = # public observation of Delta Draconis HIPE> obs = getobservation(obsid, usehsa = True) or from a local pool on your hard drive disk assuming it was previously saved to a local store (see the usage of the getpacsdata.py script in tutorial PACS 103) HIPE> obs = getobservation(obsid, poollocation = /where/you/saved/it/ ) - page 9

41 Add an inical escmate of the bolometers noise level to the frames HIPE> frames = photaddnoiseperpixel(frames, method = "median", caltree=caltree) The NOISE dataset is created in the frames object The noise esgmate is used later in the deglitching process - page 41

42 Step 5 From Level 0.5 to Level 1 - page 42

43 Deglitching NHSC PACS The spagal deglitching algorithm, or Second Level Deglitching, is now (since bulk reprocessing 6.1) the default deglitching algorithm in the pipeline. It relies on spagal redundancy to detect outliers. The Second Level Deglitching works on a mapindex variable. The mapindex is populated with the signal contribugons from all detector pixels for each individual map pixels - page 43

44 Deglitching NHSC PACS Syntax for running the second level deglitching on frames Complete documentacon on Second Level Deglitching: hwp:// - page 44

47 Add the poincng informacon to the frames HIPE> frames = photaddinstantpointing(frames, pp, caltree=caltree, orbitephem=oep) Provide the telescope poingng product and the orbit ephemeris that were extracted from the ObservaGonContext This module adds the spacecra^ poingng to the frames.status as coordinates and addigonal poingng informagon - page 47

48 Check # 12: focal plane coordinates HIPE> print frames.status photaddinstantpoingng has created all these variables in frames.status HIPE> print frames.status["raarray"].data.dimensions array([2586], int) - page 48 RA of the center of the focal plane

49 Check # 12: focal plane coordinates This command allows to compile a funcgon at the command line or within a script HIPE> execfile("/path/to/the/script/plotscanpath.py") HIPE> plotscanpath(frames) plotscanpath.py exploits the poingng informagon added by the module photaddinstantpoingng, namely RaArray and DecArray, to plot the trajectory of the center of the focal plane. - page 49

50 Add the poincng informacon to the frames HIPE> frames = photassignradec(frames, caltree=caltree) This modules assigns coordinates to individual pixels using distorgon informagon from the caltree - page 50

51 Check # 13: RA, Dec HIPE> print frames photassignradec has created the datasets Ra and Dec in the frames HIPE> print frames.ra.dimensions array([16, 32, 2586], int) - page 51
