       --optextract-niter <long>
              Number  of  iterations  (long;  default:  1).  The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex configuration file is xsh.xsh_respon_slit_stare.optextract-niter [default  =
              1].

       --optextract-method <str>
              Extraction  method  GAUSSIAN | GENERAL (str; default: ´GAUSSIAN´). The full name of

              xsh.xsh_respon_slit_stare.optextract-method [default = GAUSSIAN].

       --correct-tellurics <bool>
              TRUE  if  during  response computation we apply telluric correction (bool; default:
              True). The  full  name  of  this  option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is
              xsh.xsh_respon_slit_stare.correct-tellurics [default = True].

       with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex  --help'
