Data Flow Operations Group (DFO):Past, Present, and FutureDavid SilvaHead, Data Flow Operations
Mission • Main Tasks • Create master calibrations • Derive and trend QC parameters • Create science products (Service Mode) • Prepare data packages (Service Mode) • Pipelines & QC parameters: requirements & testing • Customers • Paranal Science Operations • ESO community (PIs, archive users) Home Page: www.eso.org/qc
Current Staff Complete VLT/VLTI/VST team Past members: Bruno Leibundgut (Group Head,before Oct 2001), Paola Amico (1998 - 2001), NandoPatat (1999 - 2001)
Information by Instrument Similar pages for every VLT/VLTI instrument
HealthCheck Joint PSO/DFO project Goal: organize all information needed by PSO in one place.
5 Years of Progress: DFO Supported Modes NACO FORS1 UVES VIMOS Service Mode 2003 Scaled by Integration Time FORS2 ISAAC GIRAFFE Green = science, calibration, and QC productsCollaborative development effort with DFS Pipeline team
Three-Year Outlook: More Volume, More Complexity • New VLT/VLTI Instruments • SINFONI, VISIR, CRIRES, Hawk-I (?) • MIDI, AMBER • Question: how many VLTI nights (UT+AT)? • VST/WCam • 15 Tbyte/year - unprocessed! • Cluster storage & computing • VISTA (?) • New staff? Better efficiency? • New, cross-instrument software system WCam + wCen
