Scientific paper

The Pan-STARRS Image Processing Pipeline is responsible for the calibration and characterization of the images flowing from the newly commissioned Pan-STARRS 1 Telescope. Every 40 sec, a 1.4 billion pixel exposure requires standard detrend operations, source identification and photometry, astrometry, warping to a sky tesselation, subtraction against a template and photometry of variable sources. To meet this challenge, we have designed a flexible pipeline, able to reduce single-CCD cameras as well as the behemoth mosaic cameras. We describe the design and current status of our pipeline, including performance on actual PS1 images.
