CDBS (Calibration Data Base System) is a pathway of software, protocol, and procedures which starts with several groups of Instrument Scientist teams collecting all of the various forms of calibration data, packaging it and delivering to CDBS. The data is put through CDBS Operations with the end result being delivery to HST's ground system reduction pipeline (OPUS), archiving to the Data Archiving and Distribution System (DADS), and population of the CDBS on-line archives. ...

... A VLT instrument pipeline is a complex system that has to be able to identify and classify each produced FITS file, optionally retrieve calibration files from a database, use an image processing software to reduce the data, compute and log quality control parameters, produce FITS images or tables with the correct headers, optionally display them in the control room and send them to the archive. ... This paper describes the different pipeline tasks with some real examples. ... 139-148 (2003) . ...

. Comment on J1130-1449 . There are two dominant components in our image. Comparison with the 15 GHz image of Kellermann et al. (1998) reveals that the western component is brighter at the higher frequency, indicating that the brighter (eastern) component in our image may have a steep spectrum. VLBApls home page .
