Key Theme: 8 OtherOPERA: and open-source pipeline for echelle spectrographs
Authors:
Withington Kanoa, Martioli Eder, Malo Lison, Usher Chris, Moutou Claire, Manset NadineThis article describes the algorithms implemented in the OPERA pipeline software package for the reduction of cross-dispersed high resolution spectropolarimetric ESPaDOnS data. It is currently the only open source software available for fiber-fed echelle spectrographs and spectropolarimeters that use an image slicer. We describe the software organization and it's performance validation plus some novel processing methods including a two-dimensional instrument profile that provides improved wavelength and flux calibration, better polarimetric precision.
