Abstract
Aspera is a NASA-funded UV SmallSat Mission in development with a projected launch in 2025. The goal of the mission is to detect and map warm-hot gas in the circumgalactic medium of nearby galaxies traced by the Ovi emission line at 103.2 nm. To that goal, Aspera will conduct long-exposure observations at one or more spatial fields around each target galaxy, employing two long-slit spectrographs. Spectra from both channels are focused on a single micro-channel plate detector. In preparation of the mission’s launch, we are developing a data reduction pipeline, the goal of which is to reconstruct a calibrated 3D IFU-like data cube by combining the photon event lists obtained during each observation for a given target galaxy. In this proceedings paper, we present an outline for the data reduction pipeline and describe the data flow through the processing of science observations. We will further discuss individual steps to be applied to the data during the processing and show how our final data cubes shall be reconstructed. Finally, we will present our planned data products and discuss how simulations of the Aspera data cubes are being used to develop the pipeline.
