Advanced Data Reduction for the MUSE Deep Fields

Understand

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is an integral-field spectrograph operating in the visible wavelength range, and installed at the Very Large Telescope (VLT).

• The official MUSE pipeline is available from ESO.
• However, for the data reduction of the Deep Fields program (Bacon et al., in prep.), we have built a more sophisticated reduction pipeline, with additional reduction tasks, to extend the official pipeline and produce cubes with fewer instrumental residuals.
