HAWKI_CAL_ZPOINT(7)

💖 HAWKI_CAL_ZPOINT(7) — hawki recipes 💖

okay bestie, welcome to HAWKI_CAL_ZPOINT(7), one of the hawki recipe manual pages, and before we go ANY further you need to know that this whole thing is tagged (OBSOLETE). Like, the recipe itself is literally labeled obsolete in its own NAME line. It's giving vintage. It's giving "still documented, still here, still valid syntax." We respect it. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

hawki_cal_zpoint — (OBSOLETE) Zero point computation recipe 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

esorex hawki_cal_zpoint [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

that's it, that's the whole vibe: you run it through esorex, you feed it a .sof file, you optionally pass some options. slay. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

(OBSOLETE) — yes, again, we're saying it out loud. hawki_cal_zpoint is the Zero point recipe. 👑

The input files you list in the Set Of Frames (that's the sof-file, iykyk) have to be tagged like this:

• raw-file.fits ZPOINT
• stdstars-file.fits STDSTARS_CATS
• flat-file.fits FLAT_IM
• bpm-file.fits BPM

and in exchange, the recipe makes you these outputs, no cap:

• hawki_cal_zpoint.fits (ZPOINT_RES) — the Zero point solution table 📊
• hawki_cal_zpoint_check.fits (ZPOINT_IMA) — standard star images, corrected, for checking purposes 👀
• hawki_cal_zpoint_stats.fits (ZPOINT_STATS) — statistics of the raw standard star images 📈

Return code: esorex exits with an error code of 0 if the recipe completes successfully, or 1 otherwise. that's the whole mood chart — 0 is the win, 1 is the "bestie we need to talk." 😭

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay here's the full list, every single one, defaults and all, because we do NOT gatekeep:

• --detect_sigma <float> — the sigma value for object detection (float; default: 7.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.detect_sigma [default = 7.0].
• --star_r <float> — the star radius (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.star_r [default = -1.0].
• --bg_r1 <float> — the internal background radius (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.bg_r1 [default = -1.0].
• --bg_r2 <float> — the external background radius (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.bg_r2 [default = -1.0].
• --ra <float> — RA in degrees (float; default: 999.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.ra [default = 999.0].
• --dec <float> — DEC in degrees (float; default: 999.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.dec [default = 999.0].
• --mag <float> — magnitude (float; default: 99.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.mag [default = 99.0].
• --sx <int> — x half-size of the search box (int; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.sx [default = 100].
• --sy <int> — y half-size of the search box (int; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.sy [default = 100].
• --xcoord <str> — Coordinates in X where the standard star is located. If -1 use WCS (str; default: ´-1., -1., -1., -1.´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.xcoord [default = -1., -1., -1., -1.].
• --ycoord <str> — Coordinates in Y where the standard star is located. If -1 use WCS (str; default: ´-1., -1., -1., -1.´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_cal_zpoint.ycoord [default = -1., -1., -1., -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. 💡

and that's the whole page bestie 💜 this was hawki_cal_zpoint version 2.4.11, and yeah, the recipe is obsolete, but the documentation? iconic, eternal, still accurate. no cap. 🌟
