NAME

       vmimcalphot - Determine photometric calibration from a set of observed standard stars.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex vmimcalphot [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This recipe is used to determine night zeropoints, atmospheric extinction coefficients, and colour terms,
       from  a  set of star match tables produced by the recipe vmimstandard. The star match tables may refer to
       different standard star fields, but they must all be derived from exposures made with the same filter and
       the same quadrant.

       Input files:

         DO category:            Type:       Explanation:           Required:
         IMG_STAR_MATCH_TABLE    Product     Lust of standard stars    Y
         PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE       Calib       Photometric table         Y

       Output files:

         DO category:            Data type:  Explanation:
         PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE       FITS table  Upgraded photometric table

       The only product of this recipe is an upgraded PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE, carrying the newly computed  zeropoint,
       and, if requested, new extinction and colour coefficients.

       For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline User´s Guide.

OPTIONS

       --Extinction <bool>
              Compute  also  extinction coefficient (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.extinction [default = False].

       --ColorTerm <bool>
              Compute also color term (bool; default: False). The full  name  of  this  option  for  the  EsoRex
              configuration file is vimos.Parameters.colorterm [default = False].

       --UseColorTerm <bool>
              Use  color  term in zeropoint computation (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for
              the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.usecolorterm [default = False].

       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.
