NAME
fors_resample - Resample input spectra at constant wavelength step
SYNOPSIS
esorex fors_resample [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe is used to resample at constant wavelength step spatially rectified spectra. The input frames
are produced using either the recipe fors_extract_slits in the case of MOS/MXU multi slit exposures, or
the recipes fors_remove_bias and fors_flatfield in the case of LSS or long-slit like MOS/MXU data. Only
in case of LSS or LSS-like data the SLIT_LOCATION table is required in input. Please refer to the FORS
Pipeline User´s Manual for more details.
In the table below the MXU acronym can also be read as MOS and LSS, SCI can be read as STD, and SCIENCE
as STANDARD.

OPTIONS
--dispersion <float>
Expected spectral dispersion (Angstrom/pixel) (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option
for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_resample.dispersion [default = 0.0].
--startwavelength <float>
Start wavelength in spectral extraction (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_resample.startwavelength [default = 0.0].
--endwavelength <float>
End wavelength in spectral extraction (float; default: 0.0). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_resample.endwavelength [default = 0.0].
--flux <bool>
Apply flux conservation (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is fors.fors_resample.flux [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.
