SYNOPSIS

esorex hawki_cal_flat [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

hawki_cal_flat -- HAWKĪI imaging flat-field creation from twillight images.

The input of the recipe files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged as: raw-file.fits FLAT or Optional inputs are: bpmdark-file.fits BPM_HOT dark-file.fits DARK_IM dark_err-file.fits DARK_ERR The recipe creates as an output: hawki_cal_flat_setxx.fits (FLAT_IM): Master flat for filter xx hawki_cal_flat_err_setxx.fits (FLAT_ERRMAP): Master flat residuals hawki_cal_flat_bpmflat_setxx.fits (BPM_COLD): BPM from the flat hawki_cal_flat_stats_setxx.fits (FLAT_STATS): Stats of the individual flats Optionally it also creates: hawki_cal_flat_bpm_setxx.fits (BPM): Bad pixel mask combining bpm from dark and flat hawki_cal_flat_stats_ec_setxx.fits (FLAT_STATS_EVEN_COL): Stats of the individual flats for even columns hawki_cal_flat_stats_oc_setxx.fits (FLAT_STATS_ODD_COL): Stats of the individual flats for odd columns hawki_cal_flat_stats_er_setxx.fits (FLAT_STATS_EVEN_ROW): Stats of the individual flats for even rows hawki_cal_flat_stats_or_setxx.fits (FLAT_STATS_ODD_ROW): Stats of the individual flats for odd rows Return code: esorex exits with an error code of 0 if the recipe completes successfully or 1 otherwise

OPTIONS

--zone <str>

--second_pass <bool>

Flag to apply a second pass computation (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.second_pass [default = True].

--sigma_badres <float>

sigma for detection of bad flat results (float; default: 1.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.sigma_badres [default = 1.0].

--sigma_bpm <float>

sigma for detection of bad pixels (float; default: 10.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.sigma_bpm [default = 10.0].

--lowval_bpm <float>

values of the flat below this will be included in the bpm. In units of final flat (normalised if normalise is on) (float; default: 0.1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.lowval_bpm [default = 0.1].

--highval_bpm <float>

values of the flat above this will be included in the bpm. In units of final flat (normalized if normalise is on) (float; default: 10.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.highval_bpm [default = 10.0].

--select_auto <bool>

Flag to automatically select the good input frames (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.select_auto [default = True].

--select_auto_max_bins <long>

Maximum number of frames requested (long; default: 10). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.select_auto_max_bins [default = 10].

--select_min_level <str>

Minimum ADU level for frames selection (str; default: \'-1.0\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.select_min_level [default = -1.0].

--select_max_level <str>

Maximum ADU level for frames selection (str; default: \'25000\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.select_max_level [default = 25000].

--select_max_rms <str>

Maximum RMS for frames selection (str; default: \'4000\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.select_max_rms [default = 4000].

--select_min_nframes <long>

Minimum number of frames requested (long; default: 3). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.select_min_nframes [default = 3].

--extra_stats <bool>

Request for even/odd column/rows statistics (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_flat.extra_stats [default = False].

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.
