SYNOPSIS
esorex uves_obs_redchain [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe does a complete science reduction. It runs all necessary calibration recipes depending on the
availability of raw/processed calibration frames.
Input frames are all UVES raw and reference frames: formatchecks, ARC_LAMP_FORM_xxxx, xxxx=BLUE or RED,
order definition frames, ORDER_FLAT_xxx, biases, BIAS_xxx, darks, DARK_xxx, flats, FLAT_xxx, arc lamps,
ARC_LAMP_xxx, standard stars, STANDARD_xxx a wavelength catalogue table,LINE_REFER_TABLE, and optionally
a wavelength table of bright lines,LINE_INTMON_TABLE, used only for computing Quality Control parameters.
a reference standard star flux table, FLUX_STD_TABLE, a table describing the atmospheric
extintion,EXTCOEFF_TABLE.
optionally, science frames, SCIENCE_xxx, or UVES_SCI_POINT_xxx, or UVES_SCI_EXTND_xxx, or
UVES_SCI_SLICER_xxx.
For further details on the data reduction and the input frame types refer to the man page of the
individual recipes.
OPTIONS
--scired <bool>
Whether or not to do science reduction. If false, only master calibration frames are created. If
false, either zero or all necessary calibration frames must be provided for each arm (bool;
default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.scired [default = True].
--debug <bool>
Whether or not to save intermediate results to local directory (bool; default: False). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.debug [default = False].
--plotter <str>
Any plots produced by the recipe are redirected to the command specified by this parameter. The
plotting command must contain the substring ´gnuplot´ and must be able to parse gnuplot syntax on
its standard input. Valid examples of such a command may include ´gnuplot -persist´ and ´cat >
mygnuplot$$.gp´. A finer control of the plotting options can be obtained by writing an executable
script, e.g. my_gnuplot.pl, that executes gnuplot after setting the desired gnuplot options (e.g.
set terminal pslatex color). To turn off plotting, set this parameter to ´no´ (str; default:
´no´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.plotter [default =
no].

0.0].
--uves_cal_wavecal.range <long>

automatically corrected for binning (float; default: 10.0). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is uves_obs_redchain.uves_cal_wavecal.first.shiftmax [default = 10.0].
--uves_cal_wavecal.shiftstep <float>

option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_obs_redchain.uves_cal_wavecal.identify.maxerror
[default = 20.0].
--uves_cal_wavecal.degree <long>
Degrees of the global 2d dispersion polynomial. If a negative number is specified, the polynomial

wavelength units. Lines with residuals worse than the tolerance are excluded from the final fit.
Unlike in previous versions, this parameter is not corrected for CCD binning. This rejection
based on the absolute residual in pixel can be effectively disabled by setting the tolerance to a
very large number (e.g. 9999). In that case outliers will be rejected using only kappa sigma

uves_cal_wavecal, 2d not supported by uves_cal_response) (str; default: ´average´). The full name
of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.method [default = average].
--uves_cal_wavecal.extract.kappa <float>
In optimal extraction mode, this is the threshold for bad (i.e. hot/cold) pixel rejection. If a
pixel deviates more than kappa*sigma (where sigma is the uncertainty of the pixel flux) from the
inferred spatial profile, its weight is set to zero. Range: [-1,100]. If this parameter is
negative, no rejection is performed. (float; default: 10.0). The full name of this option for the

uves_obs_redchain.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.chunk [default = 32].
--uves_cal_wavecal.extract.profile <str>

gives a Moffat profile with beta=4 and a possible linear sky contribution. ´virtual´ uses a
virtual resampling algorithm (i.e. measures and uses the actual object profile). ´constant´
assumes a constant spatial profile and allows optimal extraction of wavelength calibration frames.
´auto´ will automatically select the best method based on the estimated S/N of the object. For low
S/N, ´moffat´ or ´gauss´ are recommended (for robustness). For high S/N, ´virtual´ is recommended
(for accuracy). In the case of virtual resampling, a precise determination of the order positions
is required; therefore the order-definition is repeated using the (assumed non-low S/N) science
frame (str; default: ´auto´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.profile [default = auto].
--uves_cal_wavecal.extract.skymethod <str>

median of pixels along the slit (ignoring pixels close to the object), whereas ´optimal´ does a
chi square minimization along the slit to obtain the best combined object and sky levels. The
optimal method gives the most accurate sky determination but is also a bit slower than the median
method (str; default: ´optimal´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file
