uves_obs_redchain - Runs the full UVES reduction chain
SYNOPSIS
esorex uves_obs_redchain [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe does a complete science reduction. It runs all necessary calibration recipes
depending on the availability of raw/processed calibration frames.
Input frames are all UVES raw and reference frames: formatchecks, ARC_LAMP_FORM_xxxx,
xxxx=BLUE or RED, order definition frames, ORDER_FLAT_xxx, biases, BIAS_xxx, darks,
DARK_xxx, flats, FLAT_xxx, arc lamps, ARC_LAMP_xxx, standard stars, STANDARD_xxx a
wavelength catalogue table,LINE_REFER_TABLE, and optionally a wavelength table of bright
lines,LINE_INTMON_TABLE, used only for computing Quality Control parameters.
a reference standard star flux table, FLUX_STD_TABLE, a table describing the atmospheric
extintion,EXTCOEFF_TABLE.
optionally, science frames, SCIENCE_xxx, or UVES_SCI_POINT_xxx, or UVES_SCI_EXTND_xxx, or
UVES_SCI_SLICER_xxx.
For further details on the data reduction and the input frame types refer to the man page
of the individual recipes.

reduce the ripple possibly introduced by the order merging. Suggested values is 4
(float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.merge_delt2 [default = 0.0].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.objoffset <float>
Offset (in pixels) of extraction slit with respect to center of order. For optimal
extraction the full slit is offset. For linear/average extraction, reduce.objoffset
is ignored if reduce.objslit [default -1.0] is negative. In this case the offset is
automatically determined by measuring the actual object position. (float; default:
0.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.objoffset [default = 0.0].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.objslit <float>
Object window size (in pixels), ignored for optimal extraction. The value must be
smaller than the total slit length. If negative, the default value (half of full
slit length) is used. The upper and lower sky windows are defined as the part of
the full slit (if any) outside the object window. The center of the object window
is determined by the offset parameter. (float; default: -1.0). The full name of
this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.objslit [default = -1.0].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.rebin.scale <bool>
Whether or not to multiply by the factor dx/dlambda (pixels per wavelength) during
the rebinning to conserve the flux. This option is disabled as default because
applying the flat field correction already ensures flux conservation. Therefore
this parameter should be TRUE (for response and science data) only if
reduce.ffmethd = no. (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.rebin.scale
[default = False].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.rebin.wavestep <float>
The bin size used for BLUE/REDL data (in w.l.u.) in wavelength space. If negative,
a step size of 2/3 * ( average pixel size ) is used. (float; default: -1.0). The
full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.rebin.wavestep [default = -1.0].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.rebin.wavestep_redu <float>
The bin size used for REDU data (in w.l.u.) in wavelength space. If negative, a
step size of 2/3 * ( average pixel size ) is used. (float; default: -1.0). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.rebin.wavestep_redu [default = -1.0].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.skysub <bool>
Do sky-subtraction (only applicable to linear and average extractions)? (bool;
default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.skysub [default = True].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.slitlength <float>
Extraction slit length (in pixels). If negative, the value inferred from the raw
frame header is used (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.slitlength
[default = -1.0].
--uves_obs_scired.reduce.tiltcorr <bool>
If enabled (recommended), the provided dispersion solutions obtained at different
slit positions are interpolated linearly at the actually measured position of the
object/sky. Line tilt correction is currently not supported for 2d extraction, in
which case the dispersion solution obtained at the middle of the slit is always
used. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is uves_obs_redchain.uves_obs_scired.reduce.tiltcorr [default =
True].
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.
