Highly Processed Data Products (HPDP)

Some observations taken in specific observing modes have been fully reprocessed in a systematic way by experts after the release of the last Off-Line Processing pipeline (v10) released in 2003 and are now made available as 'Highly Processed Data Products' through the ISO Data Archive interface.

The following reprocessed data sets are available containing CAM observations made with ISO and are recommended for scientific usage:

Basic CAM Information

Data Analysis

Calibration

Different aspects of the ISOCAM calibration, which may be of relevance to future space missions are addressed in detail in the following papers:

Additional CAM Documents

These additional CAM documents describe aspects of the instrument in some detail and only need to be read for a deep understanding of a particular aspect. But be aware that the reports sometimes reflect "work in progress" and may have been superseded.

See also the proceedings of several ISO Conferences and Meetings for specific instrument related topics.
