fors_extract_slits7

Usage

Overview

This recipe is used to extract MOS/MXU slit spectra, following their curvature, and to remap them into a spatially rectified image.

Please refer to the FORS Pipeline User´s Manual for details about the spectra remapping technique. Note however that the interpolation is done exclusively along the spatial direction, and therefore the output rectified image will have the same x size of the input spectral image.

In the table below the MXU acronym can be alternatively read as MOS.

Options

--dispersion <float>

Expected spectral dispersion (Angstrom/pixel) (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_extract_slits.dispersion [default = 0.0].

--startwavelength <float>

Start wavelength in spectral extraction (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_extract_slits.startwavelength [default = 0.0].

--endwavelength <float>

End wavelength in spectral extraction (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_extract_slits.endwavelength [default = 0.0].

--flux <bool>

Apply flux conservation (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_extract_slits.flux [default = True].

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.
