摘要:

ACS的球状星团巡天利用HST的宽视场通道获得了65个最近的球状星团的均匀成像,为广泛的科学调查提供了广泛的均匀数据集。调查目标不仅需要统一的观测策略,还需要统一的归约策略。为此,我们设计了一个复杂的软件程序,以自动化的方式处理集群数据。该程序同时在每个星团的多个抖动曝光中识别恒星,并使用最佳的PSF模型测量它们。我们在这里详细描述程序的原理,算法和输出。该例程还被设计用于执行人造星测试,我们为调查中的每个聚类运行了一组标准的约10^5个测试。这里描述的目录将在一些即将出版的论文中得到利用,并最终通过万维网向公众提供。

英文摘要:

The ACS Survey of Globular Clusters has used HST's Wide-Field Channel to obtain uniform imaging of 65 of the nearest globular clusters to provide an extensive homogeneous dataset for a broad range of scientific investigations. The survey goals required not only a uniform observing strategy, but also a uniform reduction strategy. To this end, we designed a sophisticated software program to process the cluster data in an automated way. The program identifies stars simultaneously in the multiple dithered exposures for each cluster and measures them using the best available PSF models. We describe here in detail the program's rationale, algorithms, and output. The routine was also designed to perform artificial-star tests, and we run a standard set of ~10^5 tests for each cluster in the survey. The catalog described here will be exploited in a number of upcoming papers and will eventually be made available to the public via the world-wide web.
