Abstract

The Gemini High-Resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is a fibre-fed echelle spectrograph recently commissioned at Gemini-South. It has a wide variety of observing modes tuned for a range of science cases, which contribute to a number of unique data reduction challenges. In this paper, we describe the state of the GHOST data reduction pipeline and application during the GHOST commissioning phase.
