3 What to expect when running the pipeline on SPIRE Spectrometer data... When you get the data, you download to a "pool" on your local machine containing one "Observation Context" per observation The Observation Context contains all the data that you need: Auxiliary (pointing) data Calibration data Level 0 (raw) data Level 0.5 (engineering) data Level 1 and Level 2 data Standard pipeline products, ready to analyze! SPIRE FTS Pipelines and Data Products Trevor Fulton 3

4 Pools and Storage The storage location on the local disk Each pool contains a collection of contexts and products contained inside the "Observation Context" the Onion SPIRE FTS Pipelines and Data Products Trevor Fulton 4
