Release of pipeline-processed HAWK-I images as part of the UK in-kind reprocessing project
All images obtained with the High Acuity Wide field K-band Imager, HAWK-I, from the beginning of regular operations (April 2008) until October 2015 are now published as reduced data (burst mode excluded) via the ESO science archive facility.
The data for this release was processed by the Cambridge Astronomy Survey Unit (CASU) using improved science recipes that run within the ESO CPL environment. The release consists of 3 TB of astrometrically and photometrically calibrated stacked and tiled images, confidence maps, variance maps, and associated single band source lists. The images are stacked at the OB level and are reduced with pipeline version 1.1.
The HAWK-I images tagged "HAWKI" can be queried and downloaded using the Phase 3 generic query form that provides access to all Phase 3 data, or the Phase 3 query form dedicated to imaging data with query parameters suited to harvest imaging data.
More details about the data are available in the associated Phase 3 data release description for HAWK-I data.
