NAME
vimos_ima_science - Science processing for imaging
SYNOPSIS
esorex vimos_ima_science [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
vimos_ima_science -- VIMOS science recipe.
Take a list of science frames and correct them to remove bias, dark and flat field
signatures. Optionally defringe the reddest filter images. Stack jitter sequences.
Astrometrically and photometrically calibrate the stacks
The program accepts the following files in the SOF:
Tag Description

MASTER_DARK A master dark frame
MASTER_TWILIGHT_FLAT A master flat frame
MASTER_CONF A master confidence map

MASTER_FRINGE_VAR A master fringe variance map (optional)
MASTER_READGAIN A master readgain table
MASTER_2MASS_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master 2MASS index for astrometry or
MASTER_PPMXL_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master PPMXL index for astrometry or
MASTER_APASS_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master APASS index for astrometry or
MASTER_LOCAL_CATALOGUE_ASTROM A master local index for astrometry
MASTER_APASS_CATALOGUE_PHOTOM A master APASS index for photometry or
MASTER_LOCAL_CATALOGUE_PHOTOM A master local index for photometry or
OBJECT_CATALOGUE_STD A master processed standard star image or table
MATCHSTD_PHOTOM A master photometric matched standards table (optional)
SCHLEGEL_MAP_NORTH Northern Schlegel Map
SCHLEGEL_MAP_SOUTH Southern Schlegel Map
PHOTCAL_TAB A photometric calibration table All of these are required unless
specified otherwise.
