Stacking the Suprime-Cam image archive at the CADC
The CADC has started a project of stacking the Suprime-Cam image archive. This will increase the archive's legacy value, utility and ease of use. The individual raw image are retrieved from the STARS archive and detrended using the sdfred2 software package. Using a fork of the MegaPipe data pipeline software, the images are then astrometrically calibrated using GAIA and photometrically calibrated using Pan-STARRS. The individual images are then resampled and stacked using SWarp on to a grid of tiles covering the sky.
