NAME

       muse_dark  - Combine several separate dark images into one master dark file and locate hot
       pixels.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex muse_dark [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This recipe combines several separate dark images into one master dark  file.  The  master
       dark  contains  the  combined  pixel values of the raw dark exposures, with respect to the
       image combination method used and normalization time specified. Processing trims  the  raw
       data  and  records  the  overscan  statistics,  subtracts  the bias (taking account of the
       overscan, if --overscan is not &none&) from each raw input image, converts them  from  adu
       to  count,  scales  them  according  to their exposure time, and combines them using input
       parameters. Hot pixels are then identified using image statistics and marked in  the  data
       quality  extension.  The  combined  image is normalized to the specified exposure time. QC
       statistics are computed on the output master dark.

OPTIONS

       --nifu <long>
              IFU to handle. If set to 0, all IFUs are processed serially. If set to -1, all IFUs
              are processed in parallel. (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.nifu [default = 0].

       --overscan <str>
              If this is "none", stop when detecting discrepant overscan levels (see  ovscsigma),
              for  "offset" it assumes that the mean overscan level represents the real offset in
              the bias levels of the exposures involved, and adjusts the  data  accordingly;  for
              "vpoly", a polynomial is fit to the vertical overscan and subtracted from the whole
              quadrant. (str; default: ´vpoly´). The full name of  this  option  for  the  EsoRex
              configuration file is muse.muse_dark.overscan [default = vpoly].

       --ovscreject <str>
              This  influences how values are rejected when computing overscan statistics. Either
              no rejection at all  ("none"),  rejection  using  the  DCR  algorithm  ("dcr"),  or
              rejection  using an iterative constant fit ("fit"). (str; default: ´dcr´). The full
              name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is  muse.muse_dark.ovscreject
              [default = dcr].

       --ovscsigma <float>
              If  the  deviation  of  mean  overscan  levels  between  a  raw input image and the
              reference image is higher  than  |ovscsigma  x  stdev|,  stop  the  processing.  If
              overscan="vpoly",  this  is  used  as  sigma  rejection  level  for  the  iterative
              polynomial fit (the level comparison is then done afterwards with |100 x stdev|  to
              guard against incompatible settings).  Has no effect for overscan="offset". (float;
              default: 30.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration  file  is
              muse.muse_dark.ovscsigma [default = 30.0].

       --ovscignore <long>
              The  number  of  pixels of the overscan adjacent to the data region of the CCD that
              are ignored when computing statistics or fits. (long; default: 3). The full name of
              this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.ovscignore [default
              = 3].

       --combine <str>
              Type of image combination to use. (str; default: ´sigclip´). The full name of  this
              option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is muse.muse_dark.combine [default =
              sigclip].

       --nlow <long>
              Number of minimum pixels to reject with minmax. (long; default: 1). The  full  name
              of  this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.nlow [default =
              1].

       --nhigh <long>
              Number of maximum pixels to reject with minmax. (long; default: 1). The  full  name
              of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.nhigh [default =
              1].

       --nkeep <long>
              Number of pixels to keep with minmax. (long; default: 1). The  full  name  of  this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.nkeep [default = 1].

       --lsigma <float>
              Low sigma for pixel rejection with sigclip. (float; default: 3.0). The full name of
              this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.lsigma  [default  =
              3.0].

       --hsigma <float>
              High  sigma  for pixel rejection with sigclip. (float; default: 3.0). The full name
              of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.hsigma  [default
              = 3.0].

       --scale <bool>
              Scale the individual images to a common exposure time before combining them. (bool;
              default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration  file  is
              muse.muse_dark.scale [default = True].

       --normalize <float>
              Normalize  the  master  dark  to  this  exposure  time  (in  seconds).  To  disable
              normalization, set this to a negative value. (float;  default:  3600.0).  The  full
              name  of  this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.normalize
              [default = 3600.0].

       --hotsigma <float>
              Sigma level, in terms of median deviation above the median dark level, above  which
              a  pixel  is  detected and marked as ´hot´. (float; default: 5.0). The full name of
              this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_dark.hotsigma [default =
              5.0].

       --merge <bool>
              Merge  output  products  from  different  IFUs  into a common file. (bool; default:
              False). The full  name  of  this  option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is
              muse.muse_dark.merge [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.
