Virgo and Fornax clustersVirgo is the largest nearby galaxy cluster. It contains about 1,762 members (Binggeli et al. 1985) and is located at 16.5 Mpc Fornax is the second closest cluster. It contains about 340 members (Ferguson et al. 1989) and is located at 20.0 Mpc.

Data reduction and analysisWe have been developing pipelines for Optical and NIR cameras. Most of the pipelines are in IDL and some have been ported to Python. Most of the codes are CPU based, but we are moving towards GPU image processing. We are modelling the sky by using Radial basis functions and Gaussian process regressions.

SummaryThe NGFS survey is a multi wavelength optical and NIR survey of the Fornax cluster. The goal is producing a photometric catalog of GCs, UCDs, giant and dwarf galaxies in Fornax. The detection and analysis of dwarf galaxies is challenging. So far, we have detected dwarf galaxies in tiles 1 and 4 by doing visual inspection. We are testing several methods to automatise the process. Having access to good quality data reduction pipelines is very important. Measuring dwarf galaxies with was possible because of deep data and a good pipeline. Plenty of space for improvements in data reduction and analysis software. Limits are set by the people writing good quality and efficient software.
