Description
The Polarimeter to UNify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) is a constellation of satellites observing polarized white light scattered in the solar corona. These observations are processed and reduced to a variety of science products, including mosaics spanning 45 degrees away from the Sun. The Science Operations Center (SOC) has developed a handful of open-source packages for processing data as downlinked from spacecraft to final end-user products as a merged virtual observatory. The primary science data processing package, punchbowl, is scalable to both full pipeline orchestration as well as bespoke user processing on local data. All of these data, metadata, and code are crafted with compliance with standards and compatibility with Python data and astronomical tools in mind. Here we will share lessons learned through development and a usage guide for PUNCH data.
