Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA) Pipeline Progression
Abstract
The HLA maintains a strong commitment to continuing improvement of our Hubble Space Telescope data processing pipelines with the goal of generating better science-ready data products. The HLA image processing pipeline is transitioning from the use of MultiDrizzle to AstroDrizzle for image registration and combination. It is expected that this change will allow for the creation of higher quality science products with improved astrometric solutions. Headerlets, a newly developed tool for AstroDrizzle, will be utilized and made available to simplify access to multiple astrometric solutions for a given data set. The capabilities of AstroDrizzle will allow for functionally simplified data processing, standardizing and streamlining the data reduction process and making it easier for users to reproduce our results. We are beginning with the HLA WFC3 data processing pipeline, and then plan to extend its application to other HST instrument data.
