NAME¶

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

The input rectified frames are produced by the recipe fors_extract_slits.

An input catalog of sky lines can be specified, otherwise an internal one is used.

This recipe should be applied to multi-slit MOS/MXU data: for LSS or long-slit like data (MOS/MXU with all slits at the same offset) use recipe fors_align_sky_lss instead. Please refer to the FORS Pipeline User´s Manual for more details.

In the table below the MXU acronym can be alternatively read as MOS, and SCI as STD.

Input files:

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_align_sky.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_align_sky.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_align_sky.endwavelength [default = 0.0].

--skyalign <int>

Polynomial order for sky lines alignment (int; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_align_sky.skyalign [default = 0].

--wcolumn <str>

Name of sky line catalog table column with wavelengths (str; default: ´WLEN´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_align_sky.wcolumn [default = WLEN].

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.
