--fitz <bool>

Fit zeropoint (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.fitz [default = True].

--fit_all_mag <bool>

Always fit star magnitudes (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.fit_all_mag [default = False].

--fite <str>

Fit atmospheric extinctions (str; default: \'pernight\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.fite [default = pernight].

--fitc <bool>

Fit color correction term (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.fitc [default = False].

--use_all_stars <bool>

Use also non-standard stars to fit polynomial f (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.use_all_stars [default = False].

--degreef1 <long>

FLatfield correction map polynomial degree (x) (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.degreef1 [default = 0].

--degreef2 <long>

Flatfield correction map polynomial degree (y), or negative for triangular coefficient matrix (long; default: -1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.degreef2 [default = -1].

--degreep <long>

Extinction/color coupling degree (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_photometry.degreep [default = 0].

Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.

The full documentation for the fors pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL:

An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page http://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/.

Basic documentation about the EsoRex program can be found at the esorex (1) man page.

It is possible to call the pipelines from python using the python-cpl package. See http://packages.python.org/python-cpl/index.html for further information.
