NAME

       fors_subtract_sky_lss - Subtract sky from calibrated long slit exposure

SYNOPSIS

       esorex fors_subtract_sky_lss [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This  recipe  is  used  to  subtract the sky from wavelength calibrated scientific spectra
       produced by the recipe fors_resample. A simple median signal level is subtracted from each
       image column.

       In  the table below the MXU acronym can be read alternatively as MOS and LSS, depending on
       the instrument mode of the input data. The acronym SCI may be read STD in case of standard
       stars observations.

       Note that only LSS or LSS-like MOS/MXU data are to be processed by this recipe.

       Input files:

         DO category:               Type:       Explanation:         Required:
         MAPPED_ALL_SCI_MXU         Raw         Scientific exposure     Y

       Output files:

         DO category:               Data type:  Explanation:
         MAPPED_SCI_MXU             FITS image  Rectified scientific spectra
         MAPPED_SKY_SCI_MXU         FITS image  Rectified sky spectra

OPTIONS

       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.
