| Abstract: |
The NICMOS data reduction and calibration pipeline employs file formats and software architecture techniques that are new and different from what has been used for previous HST instruments. This paper describes the FITS file format used for NICMOS data, which includes error estimate and data quality arrays for each science image, and describes the approach used to associate multiple observations of a single target. The software architecture, which employs ANSI C language algorithms and C bindings to IRAF libraries, is also described. |
