SYNOPSIS

esorex vmifucalib [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

This recipe produces the extraction mask, the wavelength calibration, and the relative transmission correction, from a set of flat field and one arc lamp exposures (IFU mode).

Input files:

  DO category:                 Type:       Explanation:       Required:
  IFU_SCREEN_FLAT              Raw         Flat field            Y
  IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM             Raw         Arc spectrum          .

  LINE_CATALOG                 Calib       Arc line catalog      .

  MASTER_BIAS                  Calib       Master bias           Y
  IFU_IDENT                    Calib       Fiber identification  .

  CCD_TABLE                    Calib       Bad pixel table       .

Output files:

  DO category:                 Data type:  Explanation:
  IFU_MASTER_SCREEN_FLAT       FITS image  Stack of all raw flat fields
  IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED   FITS image  Extracted arc spectra
  IFU_FLAT_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED  FITS image  Extracted flat field spectra
  IFU_TRACE                    FITS table  Extraction mask
  IFU_IDS                      FITS table  Wavelength calibration
  IFU_TRANSMISSION             FITS table  Transmission correction

An arc spectrum exposure may not be specified in input, but in that case no wavelength calibration nor fiber relative transmission correction will be computed, and further reduction of associated scientific data will not be possible; the only products in this case will be the stack of all the input raw flat field exposures, and the extraction mask. If the arc spectrum exposure is specified in input, then also a line catalog must be given. The fiber identification table, if given, ensures that all spectra will be safely identified and assigned to the correct spatial position, but in most cases it will be possible to reduce the data even without specifying this table in the input SOF. A CCD table must be specified only if a bad pixel cleaning is requested.

--KSigmaLow <float>

Low threshold for K-sigma clipping method. (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.stacking.ksigma.low [default = 5.0].

--KSigmaHigh <float>

High threshold for K-sigma clipping method. (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.stacking.ksigma.high [default = 5.0].

--MinRejection <long>

Number of lowest rejected values for rejection method. (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.stacking.minmax.minimum [default = 0].

--MaxRejection <long>

Number of highest rejected values for rejection method. (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.stacking.minmax.maximum [default = 1].
