💖 amber_spectral_calibration — the manual page, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is the amber_spectral_calibration(7) page from the amber recipes crew, and honestly? it's a little gem. it's literally a recipe that figures out the real Y offset between the different photometric channels and the interferometric channels when you're in 3-telescope mode. yes, three telescopes. main character energy fr fr 🔭✨

✨ NAME ✨

amber_spectral_calibration — the AMBER offset between the photometric and interferometric channels 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

esorex amber_spectral_calibration [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

that's it, that's the whole vibe. you run esorex, you point it at the recipe, you hand it a FILE.sof 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the tea is: this recipe calculates the real Y offset between the different photometric channels and the interferometric channels, but only in 3-telescope mode. and the way it does that? it uses the same algorithm as the amber_p2vm recipe. no reinventing the wheel here, she's borrowing her bestie's notes 💅

📥 Input files — what she needs from you

  • AMBER_BADPIX — DO category, type Products, explanation: Bad pixel map, Required: Y 💀 (yes you actually have to give her this)
  • AMBER_FLATFIELD — DO category, type Products, explanation: Flatfield, Required: Y
  • AMBER_3WAVE — DO category, type Raw, explanation: amber_wave data, Required: Y
all three are marked Y for required, so like… no skipping, bestie. she needs the whole set. 🍓

📤 Output files — what she gives back

  • AMBER_SPECTRAL_CALIBRATION — DO category, data type Products, explanation: Header with QC parameter

so you feed her three things and she hands you back a header with a QC parameter in it. iconic behavior honestly 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so here's the thing, and I need you to stay calm: the actual options aren't listed here. but the page DOES say this, and it matters:

  • you can create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. periodt.
  • for the details, please refer to what the esorex --help command tells you. that's where the real intel lives, iykyk 🔥

the full documentation for the amber pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file, and here's the URL, copied exactly, do not lose it:

an overview over the existing ESO pipelines lives right here:

basic documentation about the EsoRex program? that's the esorex(1) man page, go read her 🧚

and okay this is the fun part — you can also call the pipelines from python using the python-cpl package. further info at:

okay and for the cute sign-off: this whole page is from the amber recipes source, version 4.4.3, and the footer is literally just amber_spectral_calibration + 4.4.3 + the manual name again — so consider yourself signed off, calibrated, and absolutely slaying. bye bestie 💖✨🦋
