NAME
kmos_wave_cal - Create a wavelength calibration frame
SYNOPSIS
esorex kmos_wave_cal [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe creates the wavelength calibration frame needed for all three detectors. It
must be called after the kmo_flat recipe, which generates the two spatial calibration
frames needed in this recipe. As input a lamp-on frame, a lamp-off frame, the spatial
calibration frames and the list with the reference arclines are required.
An additional output frame is the resampled image of the reconstructed arc frame. All
slitlets of all IFUs are aligned one next to the other. This frame serves for quality
control. One can immediately see if the calibration was successful.
The lists of reference arclines are supposed to contain the lines for both available
calibration arc-lamps, i.e. Argon and Neon. The list is supposed to be a F2L KMOS FITS
file with three columns: 1. Reference wavelength 2. Relative strength 3.
String either containing “Ar” or “Ne” The recipe extracts, based on the header keywords,
either the applying argon and/or neon emission lines. Below are the plots of the emission
lines for both argon and neon. The marked lines are the ones used for wavelength
calibration.
Furthermore frames can be provided for several rotator angles. In this case the resulting
calibration frames for each detector are repeatedly saved as extension for every angle.
BASIC PARAMETERS
--order The polynomial order to use for the fit of the wavelength solution.
0: (default) The appropriate order is chosen automatically depending on the waveband (4
for IZ band, 5 for HK, 6 for the others)
ADVANCED PARAMETERS
--b_samples The number of samples in spectral direction for the reconstructed cube.
Ideally this number should be greater than 2048, the detector size.
--b_start --b_end Used to define manually the start and end wavelength for the
reconstructed cube. By default the internally defined values are used.
--suppress_extension If set to TRUE, the arbitrary filename extensions are supressed. If
multiple products with the same category are produced, they will be numered consecutively
starting from 0.
--lines_estimation If set to TRUE, the lines estimation method is used

OPTIONS
--order <long>
The fitting polynomial order used for the wavelength solution. By default, 4 for IZ
band, 5 for HK, 6 for the others (long; default: 0). The full name of this option
for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmos_wave_cal.order [default = 0].
--suppress_extension <bool>
Suppress arbitrary filename extension (bool; default: False). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmos_wave_cal.suppress_extension
[default = False].
--lines_estimation <bool>
Trigger lines estimation method (bool; default: False). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmos_wave_cal.lines_estimation
[default = False].
--b_samples <long>
The number of samples in wavelength for the reconstructed cube (long; default:
2048). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
kmos.kmos_wave_cal.b_samples [default = 2048].
--b_start <float>
The lowest wavelength [um] to use when reconstructing. Derived by default,
depending on the band (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmos_wave_cal.b_start [default = -1.0].
--b_end <float>
The highest wavelength [um] to use when reconstructing. Derived by default,
depending on the band (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmos_wave_cal.b_end [default = -1.0].
--det <long>
Only reduce the specified detector (long; default: 0). The full name of this option
for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmos_wave_cal.detector [default = 0].
--angle <float>
Only reduce the specified angle (float; default: 370.0). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmos_wave_cal.angle [default =
370.0].
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.
