Data products and catalogs

The data products and catalogs to be archived in addition to the raw data are detailed in Chapter 3. Before launch, however, it is difficult to anticipate all the Astro-D data products that we shall want to catalog and archive. For example, it may prove impossible, with data of Astro-D quality, to fit spectra automatically. In view of this, the pipeline and catalog system is intended to be sufficiently fast and flexible that additions and modifications to the Astro-D database be straightforward to implement.
