DESCRIPTION
For detailed information please refer to the GIRAFFE pipeline user manual.
It is available at http://www.eso.org/pipelines.
OPTIONS
--stack-method <str>
Stacking method: average, median, minmax or ksigma (str; default: ´median´). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.stacking.method [default = median].
--stack-ksigmalow <float>
Lower threshold multiplier for method ksigma (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option
for the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.stacking.ksigma.low [default = 5.0].
--stack-ksigmahigh <float>
Upper threshold multiplier for method ksigma (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option
for the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.stacking.ksigma.high [default = 5.0].
--stack-minreject <long>
Minimum rejection level for method minmax (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.stacking.minmax.minimum [default = 1].
--stack-maxreject <long>
Maximum rejection level for method minmax (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.stacking.minmax.maximum [default = 1].
--remove-bias <bool>
Enable bias removal (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.remove [default = True].
--bsremove-method <str>
Bias removal method (str; default: ´PROFILE´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.method [default = PROFILE].
--bsremove-areas <str>
Bias areas to use (Xl0:Xr0:Yl0:Yr0, ... ,Xln:Xrn:Yln:Yrn) (str; default: ´5:40:0:4095´). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.areas [default =
5:40:0:4095].
--bsremove-sigma <float>
Sigma Clipping: sigma threshold factor (float; default: 2.5). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.sigma [default = 2.5].
--bsremove-niter <long>
Sigma Clipping: maximum number of iterations (long; default: 5). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.iterations [default = 5].
--bsremove-mfrac <float>
Sigma Clipping: minimum fraction of points accepted/total [0.0..1.0] (float; default: 0.8). The
full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.fraction
[default = 0.8].
--bsremove-xorder <long>
Order of X polynomial fit (CURVE method only) (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.xorder [default = 1].
--bsremove-yorder <long>
Order of Y polynomial fit (CURVE method only) (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.yorder [default = 1].
--bsremove-xstep <long>
Sampling step along X (CURVE method only) (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.xstep [default = 1].
--bsremove-ystep <long>
Sampling step along Y (CURVE method only) (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is giraffe.biasremoval.ystep [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.
