Reduction and Archiving of Multiwavelength, Polarized-intensity Debris-disk Observations with the Gemini Planet Imager
Abstract The Gemini Planet Imager (GPI), an extreme adaptive optics instrument on Gemini South, has been pivotal in the advancement of the debris-disk field. Over the past decade, GPI has observed tens of debris disks at near-infrared wavelengths in both polarized and total intensity as a part of several direct-imaging surveys. Here we discuss the uniform reductions of the J -, H - and K 1-band GPI observations, specifically in polarized intensity. This includes 24 debris-disk observations in the H band, 10 debris-disks observations in the J band and 11 disk observations in the K 1 band. Additionally, all three reduced data sets have been archived on the digital platform, CANFAR, so that they are available for public use. The purpose of this work is to provide the necessary steps for one to carry out their own data reductions if desired, as well as to create a space where these uniformly reduced data are easily accessible for future analysis and research.
