Filabres: a new pipeline for the automatic data reduction of CAFOS direct imaging

Abstract

Filabres is a new Python pipeline created with the idea of performing the automatic reduction of direct images obtained with the instrument CAFOS, placed at the 2.2 m telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory. The goal is to provide useful reduced images through the Calar Alto Archive hosted by the Spanish Virtual Observatory. The behaviour of the data reduction is easily defined through a set of reduction rules set in a configuration YAML file, specifically built for the considered instrument and observation mode. The software has been designed to allow the future inclusion of additional observing modes and instruments. Filabres is publicly available through GitHub and its documentation is hosted at Read The Docs.
