DRAGONS First Public Release
November 21, 2019
After many years in the making, it is with great excitement that we announce the first public release of Gemini's new Python-based data reduction platform, DRAGONS, Data Reduction for Astronomy from Gemini Observatory North and South. In an article published today, DRAGONS’ capabilities were vital in enabling scientists to quickly reduce data critical to observations of the interstellar comet Borisov.

Images
Gemini North telescope image of the comet C/2019 Q4 (Comet Borisov) obtained on the night of November 11-12, 2019. The image was captured by the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) using three filters in optical light. Because the comet’s motion is relatively rapid, the three images were combined by averaging the position of the comet in the images to produce the single color composite shown here.
