MUSE_SCIPOST_CALIBRATE_FLUX(7)

💖 MUSE_SCIPOST_CALIBRATE_FLUX 💖

okay bestie, welcome to MUSE_SCIPOST_CALIBRATE_FLUX(7) — section 7 of the muse recipes manual, and yes it's a whole mood. grab a boba, we're doing flux calibration 🧚✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

muse_scipost_calibrate_flux — bestie, this is the one that calibrates flux for MUSE pixel tables. that's the whole job. that's the assignment and she ate 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

esorex muse_scipost_calibrate_flux [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

that's it. that's the summoning ritual. esorex, the recipe name, optionally some options, and a .sof file. slay 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what is she actually doing?? she replaces the intensity in the MUSE pixel tables with the absolute flux. like, out with the old intensity, in with the real actual flux, no cap 💫

and here's the tea: this is a task that's separated from muse_scipost. it used to be part of the big main character, now she has her own solo era. iconic behavior tbh 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --lambdamin <float> — cuts off the data below this wavelength, and she does it after loading the pixel table(s). type is float, and the default is 4000.0. the full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_scipost_calibrate_flux.lambdamin [default = 4000.0]. ✂️
• --lambdamax <float> — cuts off the data above this wavelength, also after loading the pixel table(s). type is float, default is 10000.0. the full name for the EsoRex config file is muse.muse_scipost_calibrate_flux.lambdamax [default = 10000.0]. ✂️

ngl, you can lowkey make a whole configuration file holding these options plus whatever default values you vibe with. for the deets, go look at what esorex --help tells you. she's the source of truth, fr fr 📖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the full documentation for the muse pipeline? downloadable as a PDF, bestie, right here:

ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/muse/muse-pipeline-cookbook-2.8.7.pdf

want an overview of all the existing ESO pipelines?? the web page has you:

https://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/

basic docs about the EsoRex program itself live at the esorex (1) man page 👀

and plot twist: you can call the pipelines from python using the python-cpl package. more info over at:

https://packages.python.org/python-cpl/index.html

and now, the full friend group — the other recipes of the muse pipeline, all in their own sections, all iconic:

muse_ampl(7), muse_astrometry(7), muse_bias(7), muse_create_sky(7), muse_dark(7), muse_exp_align(7), muse_exp_combine(7), muse_flat(7), muse_geometry(7), muse_illum(7), muse_lingain(7), muse_lsf(7), muse_qi_mask(7), muse_scibasic(7), muse_scipost(7), muse_scipost_apply_astrometry(7), muse_scipost_combine_pixtables(7), muse_scipost_correct_dar(7), muse_scipost_correct_rv(7), muse_scipost_make_cube(7), muse_scipost_raman(7), muse_scipost_subtract_sky(7), muse_scipost_subtract_sky_simple(7), muse_standard(7), muse_twilight(7), muse_wavecal(7)

like, a whole roster. the way that list just keeps going 😭💖
