Abstract

The Multi-AO Imaging Camera for Deep Observations (MICADO¹) will be one of the first generation instruments for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) currently being built by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) at Cerro Armazones in the Chilean Atacama desert comprising several observing modes for a wide range of astrophysical applications. Its spectroscopic mode is an echelle design aiming for point and compact sources with a medium resolving power (R ≈ 20, 000) covering the entire I to K bands in two setups. The goal of the respective pipeline is to fully calibrate the raw data, i.e. to deliver science data products fully compliant with the Phase 3 requirements of the ESO Science Data Archive Facility. This includes the removal of the instrument signature, geometrical distortion correction, wavelength calibration and conversion to physical units (flux calibration). In addition, a comprehensive set of quality control parameters is foreseen for monitoring the instrument health and the data quality control.
