MUSE_SCIPOST_COMBINE_PIXTABLES(7)

✨ muse_scipost_combine_pixtables ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the muse recipes manual 💅 this one is muse_scipost_combine_pixtables(7) and it's genuinely one of the most satisfying little recipes in the whole pipeline, no cap.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

muse_scipost_combine_pixtables — Combine MUSE pixel tables, either from different IFUs, or from different exposures, or both. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

esorex muse_scipost_combine_pixtables [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what this does: it sorts your pixel tables by exposure and then combines them — with weights applied — into one big pixel table. one giant glorious table. it's giving main character energy. 🎀

and the tea is: this is a task that got separated out from muse_scipost. so it lives on its own now, living its best life. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --lambdamin <float> — cuts off the data below this wavelength after loading the pixel table(s). (float; default: 4000.0). the full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.lambdamin [default = 4000.0]. 🍓
• --lambdamax <float> — cuts off the data above this wavelength after loading the pixel table(s). (float; default: 10000.0). the full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.lambdamax [default = 10000.0]. 🍓
• --weight <str> — the type of weighting scheme to use when combining multiple exposures. "exptime" just uses the exposure time to weight the exposures, "fwhm" uses the DIMM information in the header as well, "none" preserves an existing weight column in the input pixel tables without changes. (str; default: exptime). the full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.weight [default = exptime]. 👑

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. 🫶
