SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

The overscan regions are then trimmed from the result.

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

OPTIONS¶

--smooth_sed <float>

Smoothing size for each flat sed (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_spec_mflat.smooth_sed [default = 0.0].

--stack_method <str>

Frames combination method (str; default: ´sum´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_spec_mflat.stack_method [default = sum].

--klow <float>

Low threshold in ksigma method (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_spec_mflat.klow [default = 3.0].

--khigh <float>

High threshold in ksigma method (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_spec_mflat.khigh [default = 3.0].

--kiter <long>

Max number of iterations in ksigma method (long; default: 999). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_spec_mflat.kiter [default = 999].

--nonlinear_level <float>

Level above which the detector is not linear (float; default: 50000.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_spec_mflat.nonlinear_level [default = 50000.0].

--max_nonlinear_ratio <float>

Maximum allowed ratio of non-linear pixels per slit (float; default: 0.2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_spec_mflat.max_nonlinear_ratio [default = 0.2].

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.
