GHOST Reduced Data Products for the Gemini Observatory Community and Beyond
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) at Gemini South started regular queue operations in early 2024, bringing a long-sought open-access capability to the astronomy community. This research note briefly describes an effort to provide easy-to-access reduced spectra for GHOST programs from all Gemini partner countries and encourage prompt data exploration and analysis. Since 2024 March, over 4500 spectra have been reduced and made available to principal investigators (PIs). The aim is to increase demand for GHOST and expedite the publication of scientific results.
