Description | The award was part of the operational support for the VISTA Data Flow System which began pipeline processing of VISTA public survey data in Autumn 2009. The fully calibrated pipelined products from the VDFS have been used across a broad range of astronomical research projects. |
Exploitation Route | Fully calibrated processed images and object catalogues form the basis of much observational astronomical research. As such they are widely used by the astronomical community to fully exploit their data. |
