TL;DR: This paper describes the data reduction pipeline of the GPI science instrument, which reduces an ensemble of highcontrast spectroscopic or polarimetric raw science images and calibration data into a final dataset ready for scientific analysis.
Visible light laser guidestar experimental system (Villages): on-sky tests of new technologies for visible wavelength all-sky coverage adaptive optics systems
Donald T. Gavel,S. Mark Ammons,Brian J. Bauman,Daren Dillon,Elinor L. Gates,Bryant Grigsby,Jess A. Johnson,Chris Lockwood,Kathleen Morzinski,David Palmer,Marc Reinig,Scott Severson +11 more
TL;DR: The Lick Observatory is pursuing new technologies for adaptive optics that will enable feasible low-cost laser guidestar systems for visible wavelength astronomy as discussed by the authors, and the Villages system, commissioned at the 40 inch Nickel Telescope this past fall, serves as an on-sky testbed for new deformable mirror technology (high-actuator count MEMS devices), open-loop wavefront sensing and control, and laser uplink correction.
