vimos_ima_fringe - Fringe frame creation for imaging

esorex vimos_ima_fringe [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

vimos_ima_fringe -- VIMOS fringe frame creation recipe.

Take a list of science frames and correct them to remove bias, dark and flat field signatures. Combine the images to form a new master fringe frame

The program accepts the following files in the SOF:


Tag Description


OBJECT A list of raw science images
MASTER_BIAS A master bias frame
MASTER_DARK A master dark frame
MASTER_TWILIGHT_FLAT A master flat frame
MASTER_CONF A master confidence map
MASTER_READGAIN A master readgain table All of these are required.

Use pretty product names? (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.vimos_ima_fringe.prettynames [default = False].
Minimum pixel area for each detected object (int; default: 5). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.vimos_ima_fringe.psm_ipix [default = 5].
Detection threshold in sigma above sky (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.vimos_ima_fringe.psm_thresh [default = 3.0].
Background smoothing box size (int; default: 64). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.vimos_ima_fringe.psm_nbsize [default = 64].

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.

An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page https://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/.

Basic documentation about the EsoRex program can be found at the esorex (1) man page.

It is possible to call the pipelines from python using the python-cpl package. See https://packages.python.org/python-cpl/index.html for further information.
