High precision BCD photometry pipeline for large Spitzer surveys, optimized for use on multicore machines.
Applies the corrections for the pixel phase effect as well as the array location-dependent photometric effect, both of which must be applied at the individual BCD level instead of on a single mosaic. See here for details.
Supports IRAC's HDR mode, and utilizes the Spitzer Science Center pipeline imask files to discard contaminated measurements.
