Usage

Overview

This recipe is used to create a master dark frame from a set of raw dark frames.

Input files:

DO category: Type: Explanation: Required:
DARK Raw Dark exposure Y
MASTER_BIAS Calib Master bias Y
CCD_TABLE Calib Bad pixel table .

Output files:

DO category: Data type: Explanation:
MASTER_DARK FITS image Master dark

A CCD table must be specified only if a bad pixel cleaning is requested.

For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline User´s Guide.

Options

--AllowSingleFrames <bool>

Frame combination method is ignored. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.stacking.singleframes [default = True].

--StackMethod <str>

Frame combination method. (str; default: ´Median´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.stacking.method [default = Median].

--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 <int>

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

--MaxRejection <int>

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

--BiasMethod <str>

Bias removal method. (str; default: ´Zmaster´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.bias.removing.method [default = Zmaster].

--CleanBadPixel <bool>

Bad pixel correction on master dark. (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.badpixel.clean [default = False].

--CleanCosmic <bool>

Cosmic ray events cleaning from raw darks. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.cosmics.clean [default = True].

--CosmicThreshold <float>

Threshold to identify cosmic rays candidates. (float; default: 4.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.cosmics.threshold [default = 4.0].

--CosmicRatio <float>

Min ratio between peak and nearby pixels for a cosmic ray. (float; default: 2.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.cosmics.ratio [default = 2.0].

--ComputeQC <bool>

Compute QC1 parameters (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.quality.enable [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.
