Getting started with the LSST Science Pipelines

Before you start working with the LSST Science Pipelines, these pages will help you get up and running.

Getting started tutorials

Warning

These tutorials are based on the deprecated Generation 2 command-line task and Butler (lsst.daf.persistence.Butler). New tutorials for Generation 3 pipeline tasks and lsst.daf.butler.Butler are coming soon.

In this tutorial series we’ll process a set of Hyper Suprime-Cam images into deep coadditions and source catalogs. These tutorials will give you a feeling for data processing and analysis with the Science Pipelines.

• Part 1: setting up the Butler data repository.
• Part 2: calibrating single frames.
• Part 3: displaying exposures and source catalogs.
• Part 4: coadding images.
• Part 5: measuring sources.
• Part 6: analyzing measurement catalogs in multiple bands.
