Abstract
See summary section linked to grant V2809302:
Lead document with Professor RG Mann
Organisation: University of Edinburgh
Department: Sch of Physics and Astronomy
Funding for this work package of the original grant was awarded to Dr. Banerji while she was at the University of Cambridge. A new submission is being made from the University of Southampton so part of the already awarded grant funding can be transferred between the research institutes.

Title | Adaptation of Rubin software stack to process VISTA pixel data |
Description | We are adapting the LSST Rubin software stack to process pixel data generated by other astronomical surveys e.g. the ESO VISTA Public Surveys |
Type Of Material | Computer model/algorithm |
Year Produced | 2021 |
Provided To Others? | Yes |
Impact | The algorithm makes the Rubin software stack more flexible and enables it to jointly process astronomical imaging data collected using different cameras and telescopes. |
