DEEP-South: Automated Observation Scheduling, Data Reduction and Analysis Software Subsystem
Abstract
We started `DEep Ecliptic Patrol of the Southern sky' (DEEP-South, DS) (Moon et al. 2015) in late 2012, and conducted test runs with the first Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) (Park et al. 2012), a 1.6 m telescope with 18k x 18k CCD stationed at CTIO in early 2015. While the primary objective of DEEP-South is the physical characterization of small Solar System bodies, it is also expected to discover a large number of such bodies, many of them previously unknown. An automated observation scheduling, data reduction and analysis software subsystem called `DEEP-South Scheduling and Data reduction System' (DS SDS) is thus being designed and implemented to enable observation planning, data reduction and analysis with minimal human intervention.
