NAME

       fors_extract_objects - Extract objects in slit spectra

SYNOPSIS

       esorex fors_extract_objects [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This  recipe  is  used to extract scientific objects spectra on a resampled image produced
       with recipe fors_resample, at the positions listed in the object table produced by  recipe
       fors_detect_objects.  Please  refer to the FORS Pipeline UserĀ“s Manual for more details on
       object extraction.

       In the table below the MXU acronym can be alternatively read as MOS and LSS,  and  SCI  as
       STD.

       Input files:

         DO category:               Type:       Explanation:         Required:
         MAPPED_SCI_MXU             Calib       Resampled slit spectra  Y
         MAPPED_SKY_SCI_MXU         Calib       Resampled sky spectra   Y
         OBJECT_TABLE_SCI_MXU       Calib       Object table            Y

       Output files:

         DO category:               Data type:  Explanation:
         REDUCED_SCI_MXU            FITS image  Extracted object spectra
         REDUCED_SKY_SCI_MXU        FITS image  Extracted sky spectra
         REDUCED_ERROR_SCI_MXU      FITS image  Error on extracted spectra

OPTIONS

       --ext_mode <long>
              Object  extraction  method:  0  =  aperture,  1  =  Horne optimal extraction (long;
              default: 1). The full name of this option for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is
              fors.fors_extract_objects.ext_mode [default = 1].

       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.
