NAME

       vmimcalphot - Determine photometric calibration from a set of observed standard stars.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex vmimcalphot [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This  recipe  is  used to determine night zeropoints, atmospheric extinction coefficients,
       and colour terms, from a set of star match tables produced by the recipe vmimstandard. The
       star  match  tables  may  refer  to  different  standard star fields, but they must all be
       derived from exposures made with the same filter and the same quadrant.

       Input files:

         DO category:            Type:       Explanation:           Required:
         IMG_STAR_MATCH_TABLE    Product     Lust of standard stars    Y
         PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE       Calib       Photometric table         Y

       Output files:

         DO category:            Data type:  Explanation:
         PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE       FITS table  Upgraded photometric table

       The only product of this recipe is  an  upgraded  PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE,  carrying  the  newly
       computed zeropoint, and, if requested, new extinction and colour coefficients.

       For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline UserĀ“s Guide.

OPTIONS

       --Extinction <bool>
              Compute  also  extinction coefficient (bool; default: False). The full name of this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.extinction [default  =
              False].

       --ColorTerm <bool>
              Compute  also  color  term (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for
              the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.colorterm [default = False].

       --UseColorTerm <bool>
              Use color term in zeropoint computation (bool; default: False). The  full  name  of
              this  option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration file is vimos.Parameters.usecolorterm
              [default = False].

       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.
