Custom Processing of Chandra Data
Present Status
Automatic processing is currently available 3-4 days after the
observation and this is the routine way for data distribution to the
scientific community. There are instances, however, when custom
processing of Chandra data can be performed. This includes speedy
manual processing of data soon after receipt in cases when such a
processing is justified (e.g. TOO processing), and custommanual
reprocessing of already distributed data with an upgraded version of
either software of calibration files.
Custom Processing Request
To ensure that the extra effort is justified, and equity between
external and internal (CXC and IPI) Chandra users, requests for custom
custom processing of GO, GTO, and TOO data require special
approval. Requests should be submitted to the CXC
Helpdesk and should
include a short, precise, justification (e.g., "rapid inspection
needed to set up for second observation, seq.no. 700999", or "needed
for Nobel prize lecture on 9/31/00"). The CXC will inform the
proposer whether their request has been approved and serve as point of
contact for its status if so.
