Extraction of the Photometric Information: Corrections
Abstract
We present here the set of corrections that will be applied on the raw data of the CoRoT mission. The aim of these corrections is to correct the data for instrumental and environnemental perturbations as well as to optimize the duty-cycle, in order finally to reach the expected performances of the mission. The main corrections are : the correction of the Electromagnetic interferences, outliers correction, the bakground correction, the jitter correction and the correction of the integration time variations. We focus here on these corrections and emphasize their efficiency.
