One category of artifacts are cosmic rays present in a fraction of survey telescope data sets. A common algorithm for the identification and correction of cosmic rays will be developed for the HighLevel Data Reduction Library. Work will be based on the adaptation and generalization of algorithms available in literature and the ones used in the ESO pipelines. Description Review the specifications with the ESO quality control and instrument scientists at Paranal. Collect a set of test data for the identification of cosmic rays and the validation of the results. Implement the CPL function and a recipe using the ESO Common Pipeline Library ANSIC Prepare user documentation implement unit tests and NRI regression tests Provide support to the pipeline developers for the upgrade of existing pipelines Task 4 Web Service for Telluric lines fitting and correction recipes Purpose Telluric features are atmospheric spectral absorption features affecting spectroscopy observations of astronomical objects. A collection of programs for the modeling, fitting, and correction of telluric features has been developed for ESO in the previous years. The program involves large databases and software packages, and will be offered as a Web service, like the ESO Exposure Time Calculators www.eso.orgobservingetc. The purpose of the task is to design and implement a Webservice and Webinterfaces for this functionality. Description Study the interface of the CPL recipes for modeling, fitting, and correction of telluric features Specify a Web service interface, and review requirements with PSD and science users Prepare user documentation implement unit tests and NRI regression tests Implement Web service and Web interface Provide support to the users Task 5 Reflex Workflow for Telluric lines fitting and correction recipes Purpose In order to provide best interactive functionality for the correction of telluric lines described in Task5, a scientific workflow will be provided on the clientside, allowing the visualization and interaction for the correction of the data. The workflow will be based on the ESO Reflex scientific workflow technology www.eso.orgreflex,. The purpose of the task is to design and implement the Reflexbased clientside functionality for the correction of telluric lines. Description Prepare specification of the data interface of the workflow and OCA rules for data association Design a Reflex workflow making use of ESO Reflex and Kepler actors, as well as interactive Python scripts Review workflow specification with science users and implement the workflow Prepare user documentation implement unit tests and NRI regression tests Provide support to the users Applications Interested candidates should send cv and cover letter to vicente.ruizesa.int by 20th June 2013.
