NAME

       vmimpreimaging - Reduce a preimaging science exposure.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex vmimpreimaging [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This  recipe  is  used to apply basic reduction steps to the imaging observation that is preliminary to a
       MOS observation of the same field. No source detection is attempted on the image. The image WCS, together
       with  the  component  describing  the  instrument  optical  distortions, is converted into the convention
       followed by VMMPS (the VIMOS  mask  preparation  software).  This  set  of  coefficients,  the  so-called
       CO-matrix used by the SAO WCSTools package, is written to the header of the reduced image.

       Input files:

         DO category:              Type:       Explanation:         Required:
         IMG_PREIMAGING            Raw         Preimaging exposure     Y
         MASTER_BIAS               Calib       Master bias             Y
         IMG_MASTER_SKY_FLAT       Calib       Master sky flat         Y
         PHOT_COEFF_TABLE          Calib       Photometric table       .

         CCD_TABLE                 Calib       Bad pixel table         .

       Output files:

         DO category:              Data type:  Explanation:
         IMG_SCIENCE_REDUCED       FITS image  Reduced preimaging exposure

       If a photometric table is specified, the magnitude zeropoint, the atmospheric extinction coefficient, and
       the colour term are copied from the photometric table to the header of the reduced  image.  A  CCD  table
       must be specified in input only if a bad pixel cleaning is requested.

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

OPTIONS

       --BiasMethod <str>
              Bias  removal  method.  (str;  default:  ´Zmaster´).  The  full name of this option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is vimos.Parameters.bias.removing.method [default = Zmaster].

       --CleanBadPixel <bool>
              Bad pixel correction on reduced science image. (bool; default:  False).  The  full  name  of  this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.badpixel.clean [default = False].

       --CleanCosmic <bool>
              Cosmic  ray  removal  from  the  input science image. (bool; default: True). The full name of this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.cosmics.clean [default = True].

       --CosmicsThreshold <float>
              Threshold for cosmic ray candidate selection. (float; default: 4.0). The full name of this  option
              for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.cosmics.threshold [default = 4.0].

       --CosmicsRatio <float>
              Ratio  for  discrimination  of  objects  and cosmics. (float; default: 2.0). The full name of this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.cosmics.ratio [default = 2.0].

       --TemperatureCheck <bool>
              Check beam temperature when updating the world coordinate system.  (bool; default: True). The full
              name  of  this  option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration file is vimos.Parameters.temperature.check
              [default = True].

       --TemperatureTolerance <float>
              Maximum allowed difference between beam and ambient temperature.  (float; default: 3.0). The  full
              name  of  this  option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.temperature.tolerance
              [default = 3.0].

       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.
