New Highly Processed Data Products

Highly Processed Data Products (HPDP) are the result of systematic processing beyond the pipeline and/or using new, refined algorithms mainly contributed by ISO instrument experts. They include processed images and spectra, object catalogues, and spectral and image atlases. Often involving hands-on, interactive processing, they are conceived to purge the data from the residual instrumental artifacts still present in the products of the automatic pipeline processing and documented as "caveats". The Highly Processed Data Products are completely integrated in the ISO Data Archive and are in most cases declared default dataset.

The following new HPDP's have recently been ingested in the ISO Data Archive;

• LWS Observations of Asteroids , a catalogue of 59 manually reduced LWS observations of asteroids and background measurements (F. Hormuth and T.G. Mueller).
• ISOPHOT C200 chopped observations of compact objects, a catalogue of 605 C200 ISOPHOT observations of 542 compact objects (A. Moór, P. Ábrahám and C. Kiss).

The following HPDP's, declared as default dataset, have been enhanced with browse products, similarly as those produced for the pipeline products. They can be visualised with the dedicated IDA tools and with the new utility VOSpec.

• Uniformly Processed LWS L01 Spectra, all LWS L01 observations (1791) processed with an automatic pipeline, including de-glitching, de-fringing, correction for NIR-leak, SW1 double-peaked features and scan averaging (C. Lloyd, M. Lerate and T. Grundy).
• Far-Infrared ISOPHOT minimaps of normal stars, solar-system objects, evolved objects and miscellaneous, 4 catalogues including all ISOPHOT observations in mini-map mode with the C100/C200 detector arrays after revolution 95 (A. Moór, P. Ábrahám and C. Kiss).

Also, a problem in the FITS headers of the ISO-SWS Post-He Atlas of Near-IR Stellar Spectra (B. Vandenbussche et al.) has been fixed.
