Abstract

At the Cambridge Astronomical Survey Unit (CASU) we are responsible for the development and implementation of a number of pipelines for the routine processing of large area near-infrared surveys. In this paper, we discuss some of the challenges we face when tackling the large volumes of data generated nightly from WFCAM on UKIRT and VIRCAM on VISTA.
