KMOS_COMBINE(7) kmos recipes KMOS_COMBINE(7)

NAME

kmos_combine - Combine reconstructed cubes

SYNOPSIS

esorex kmos_combine [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

This recipe shifts several exposures of an object and combines them. Diffe- rent methods to match the exposures are described here (--method parameter).

The output cube is larger than the input cubes, according to the shifts to be applied. Additionally a border of NaN values is added. The WCS is the same as for the first exposure.

For each spatial/spectral pixel a new value is calculated (according the --cmethod parameter) and written into the output cube.

Only exposures with the same WCS orientation can be combined (except -–method=”none”), north must point to the same direction. It is recommended to apply any rotation possibly after combining.

The behavior of the selection of IFUs to combine differs for some templates and can be controlled with the parameters --name and --ifus.

If the input data cubes stem from templates KMOS_spec_obs_mapping8 or KMOS_spec_obs_mapping24 all extensions from all input frames are combined into a single map by default (like in recipe kmo_sci_red). If just the area of a specific IFU should be combined, the parameter --ifus can be specified, or more easily --name.

If the input data cubes stem from other templates like e.g.

KMOS_spec_obs_freedither all extensions of all input frames are combined into several output frames by default. The input IFUs are grouped according to their targeted object name stored in the keywords ESO OCS ARMx NAME. If just a specific object should be combined, its name can be specified with --name. If arbitrary IFUs shoukd be comined, one can specify these with the parameter --ifus.

The default mapping mode is done via the --name parameter, where the name of the object has to be provided. The recipe searches in input data cubes IFUs pointing to that object.
