muse_exp_align - Create a coordinate offset table to be used to
align exposures during exposure combination.
esorex muse_exp_align [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
Compute the coordinate offset for each input field-of-view image
with respect to a reference. The created list of coordinate offsets can then
be used in muse_exp_combine as the field coordinate offsets to properly
align the exposures during their combination.
- --rsearch
<str>
- Search radius (in arcsec) for each iteration of the offset computation.
(str; default: ´30.,4.,2.,0.8´). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.rsearch [default = 30.,4.,2.,0.8].
- --nbins
<int>
- Number of bins to use for 2D histogram on the first iteration of the
offset computation. (int; default: 60). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_exp_align.nbins [default
= 60].
- --weight
<bool>
- Use weighting. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_exp_align.weight [default =
True].
- --fwhm
<float>
- FWHM in pixels of the convolution filter. (float; default: 5.0). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.fwhm [default = 5.0].
- --threshold
<float>
- Initial intensity threshold for detecting point sources. If the value is
negative or zero the threshold is taken as sigma above median background
MAD. If it is larger than zero the threshold is taken as absolute
background level. (float; default: 15.0). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_exp_align.threshold
[default = 15.0].
- --bkgignore
<float>
- Fraction of the image to be ignored. (float; default: 0.05). The full name
of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.bkgignore [default = 0.05].
- --bkgfraction
<float>
- Fraction of the image (without the ignored part) to be considered as
background. (float; default: 0.1). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_exp_align.bkgfraction
[default = 0.1].
- --step
<float>
- Increment/decrement of the threshold value in subsequent iterations.
(float; default: 0.5). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is muse.muse_exp_align.step [default =
0.5].
- --iterations
<int>
- Maximum number of iterations used for detecting sources. (int; default:
100000). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.iterations [default = 100000].
- --srcmin
<int>
- Minimum number of sources which must be found. (int; default: 5). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.srcmin [default = 5].
- --srcmax
<int>
- Maximum number of sources which may be found. (int; default: 80). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.srcmax [default = 80].
- --roundmin
<float>
- Lower limit of the allowed point-source roundness. (float; default: -1.0).
The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.roundmin [default = -1.0].
- --roundmax
<float>
- Upper limit of the allowed point-source roundness. (float; default: 1.0).
The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.roundmax [default = 1.0].
- --sharpmin
<float>
- Lower limit of the allowed point-source sharpness. (float; default: 0.2).
The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.sharpmin [default = 0.2].
- --sharpmax
<float>
- Upper limit of the allowed point-source sharpness. (float; default: 1.0).
The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
muse.muse_exp_align.sharpmax [default = 1.0].
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.
