vimos_ima_standard - Standard field processing for imaging

esorex vimos_ima_standard [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

vimos_ima_standard -- VIMOS standard star recipe.

Take a list of standard frames and correct them to remove bias, dark and flat field signatures. Optionally defringe the reddest filter images. Astrometrically and photometrically calibrate the individual images, but do no stacking

The program accepts the following files in the SOF:


Tag Description


STD A list of raw standard 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_FRINGE A master fringe map (optional)
MASTER_FRINGE_VAR A master fringe variance map (optional)
MASTER_READGAIN A master readgain table
MASTER_2MASS_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master 2MASS index for astrometry or
MASTER_PPMXL_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master PPMXL index for astrometry or
MASTER_APASS_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master APASS index for astrometry or
MASTER_LOCAL_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master local catalogue index for astrometry
MASTER_APASS_CATALOGUE_PHOTOM A master APASS index for photometry or
MASTER_LOCAL_CATALOGUE_PHOTOM A master local catalogue index for photometry
PHOTCAL_TAB A photometric calibration table
SCHLEGEL_MAP_NORTH Northern Schlegel Map
SCHLEGEL_MAP_SOUTH Southern Schlegel Map All of these are required unless specified otherwise.
