NAME
visir_old_img_phot - Old DRS detector: Sensitivity computation
SYNOPSIS
esorex visir_old_img_phot [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe computes the conversion factor and the sentitivity of a standard star. It
requires a standard star catalog.
The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged:
VISIR-std-star-observation.fits IM_CAL_PHOT VISIR-Imaging-Standard-Star-Catalog.fits
IMG_STD_CATALOG
The primary product will have a FITS card ´HIERARCH ESO PRO CATG´ with a string value of
´IMG_PHOT_COMBINED´
and the corresponding beam-collapsed product will have a FITS card ´HIERARCH ESO PRO
CATG´ with a value of IMG_PHOT_ONEBEAM
Additionally, a bad pixel map with a PRO.CATG of IMG_BPM may be added to the Set Of Frames
with tag: BPM.
OPTIONS
--nod <str>
An optional ASCII specification of the nodding positions (in case they are missing
from the FITS-file). The file must consist of one line per input FITS-file and each
line must consist of an integer (which is ignored) followed by a 0 or 1 (to
indicate object or sky). (str; default: ´NONE´). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.nodding [default = NONE].
--auto_bpm <bool>
Automatic detection and correction of bad pixels (bool; default: True). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_img_phot.auto_bpm [default = True].
--g <bool>
Automatic filtering of glitches (bool; default: False). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.rem_glitch
[default = False].
--p <bool>
Automatic purging of half-cycle images whose median deviates more than a factor
three from the mean of the medians of half-cycle images or whose standard deviation
deviates more than a factor three from the mean of their standard deviations (bool;
default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_img_phot.purge_bad [default = False].
--union <bool>
Combine images using their union, as opposed to their intersection (deprecated and
ignored, see --combine_method) (bool; default: True). The full name of this option
for the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.union [default =
True].
--rej <str>
Each resulting pixel is the average of the corresponding (interpolated) pixel value
in each jittered image. A positive value, n1, for the first of the two integers
specifies that for each pixel the smallest n1 pixel values shall be ignored in the
averaging. Similarly, a positive value, n2, for the second of the two integers
specifies that for each pixel the largest n2 pixel values shall be ignored in the
averaging. (str; default: ´0-0´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.rej [default = 0-0].
--plot <long>
The recipe can produce a number of predefined plots. Zero means that none of the
plots are produced, while increasing values (e.g. 1 or 2) increases the number of
plots produced. If the plotting fails a warning is produced, and the recipe
continues. The default behaviour of the plotting is to use gnuplot (with option
-persist). The recipe currently produces 1D-plots using gnuplot commands. The
recipe user can control the actual plotting-command used by the recipe to create
the plot by setting the environment variable CPL_PLOTTER. Currently, if CPL_PLOTTER
is set it must contain the string ´gnuplot´. Setting it to ´cat >
my_gnuplot_$$.txt´ causes a number of ASCII-files to be created, which each produce
a plot when given as standard input to gnuplot (e.g. later or on a different
computer). 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) and then setting
CPL_PLOTTER to my_gnuplot.pl. The predefined plots include plotting of images.
Images can be plotted not only with gnuplot, but also using the pnm format. This is
controlled with the environment variable CPL_IMAGER. If CPL_IMAGER is set to a
string that does not contain the word gnuplot, the recipe will generate the plot in
pnm format. E.g. setting CPL_IMAGER to ´display - &´ will produce a gray-scale
image using the image viewer display. (long; default: 0). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.plot [default
= 0].
--off <str>
An optional ASCII specification of the offsets in case those in FITS- headers are
missing or wrong. The file must consist of one line per input pair of FITS-files,
and each line must consist of two numbers which represent the shift in pixels of
that image relative to the first image. The first line should thus comprise two
zeros. Correct FITS-header offsets mean that the i´th X offset can be gotten from
Xoffset_0 - Xoffset_i, where Xoffset_i is the value of ESO SEQ CUMOFFSETX and
likewise for Y. (str; default: ´NONE´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.offsets [default = NONE].
--ref <bool>
User-defined refining of the image offsets. See options objs and xcorr (bool;
default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_img_phot.refine [default = False].
--objs <str>
The shift and add of images needs anchor points that typically are bright objects.
These are normally detected automatically but with user-defined refining of offsets
enabled, they must be provided by the user through an ASCII file containing one
line per anchor point with each line consisting of its x and y coordinate (in
pixels). This file is ignored with user-defined refining of offsets disabled. (str;
default: ´NONE´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_img_phot.objects [default = NONE].
--xcorr <str>
If user-defined refining of offsets is enabled a cross-correlation of the images is
performed. In order to speed up this process, this cross-correlation is performed
only on smaller rectangles around the anchor points. The first two parameters is
the half-size of this rectangle in pixels. The second pair is the maximum shift in
x and y (pixels) evaluated by the cross-correlation on the rectangle. Used only if
user-defined refining of offsets is enabled. (str; default: ´10-10-25-25´). The
full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_img_phot.xcorr [default = 10-10-25-25].
--jy_val <float>
The flux of the standard star in Jansky (float; default: -999.0). The full name of
this option for the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.jy_val
[default = -999.0].
--radii <str>
Radii : star_max bg_int bg_ext (str; default: ´20-20-30´). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.radii [default
= 20-20-30].
--combine_method <str>
Combine images using one of: 1) Onto the first image (first); 2) Their union
(union); 3) Their intersection (inter). NB: Only the ´first´-method produces an
image product with WCS coordinates. A successful ´first´-method always produces a
combined image with dimensions equal to those of the input images. For the
´union´-method the result image is at least as large as the input images while for
the ´inter´-method the result image is at most as large as the input images (str;
default: ´union´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file
is visir.visir_old_img_phot.comb_meth [default = union].
--destripe_iterations <long>
Max number of destriping iterations (0 to disable destriping). Horizontal
destriping is done first and if no horizontal striping is detected, vertical
destriping is performed (long; default: 15). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.nstripe [default = 15].
--destripe_morpho <bool>
Destripe with morphological cleaning (bool; default: False). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.mstripe
[default = False].
--eccmax <float>
The maximum eccentricity allowed in the combination of the three (in parallel
nod/chopping) or four (in perpendicular nod/chopping) beams. In parallel mode,
three perfectly aligned points spaced with the chopnod throw will have eccentricity
0, while in perpedicular mode a square with the chopnod throw as the side length
will have eccentricity 0 (float; default: 0.25). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_img_phot.eccmax [default = 0.25].
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.
