✨ MUSE_SCIPOST_CORRECT_DAR ✨

okay bestie, welcome to MUSE_SCIPOST_CORRECT_DAR(7), the muse recipes page that does exactly one extremely specific little job and does it flawlessly 💅

🌈 NAME 🌈

muse_scipost_correct_dar — apply DAR correction for MUSE pixel tables. that's it. that's the whole thing. she's focused, she's unbothered, she fixes your pixel tables 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

esorex muse_scipost_correct_dar [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what she does is: she corrects the coordinates in the pixel table by differential atmospheric refraction. like, your photons got bent by the atmosphere on the way in and she's here to un-bend them 🌸

also important: this is a task that got separated out from muse_scipost. she's her own independent girl now, main character energy, no cap 👑

🫶 OPTIONS 🫶

  • --lambdamin <float> — cuts off the data below this wavelength, and it does that after loading the pixel table(s). it's a float, default is 4000.0. the full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is muse.muse_scipost_correct_dar.lambdamin [default = 4000.0]. 🍓
  • --lambdamax <float> — cuts off the data above this wavelength, also after loading the pixel table(s). float, default 10000.0. full EsoRex config name: muse.muse_scipost_correct_dar.lambdamax [default = 10000.0]. ✨
  • --lambdaref <float> — the reference wavelength used for the correction of differential atmospheric refraction. here's the tea: the R-band (peak wavelength ~7000 Angstrom) is what's usually used for guiding, and it sits close to the central wavelength of MUSE, so if you don't know anything else, use 7000.0 Angstrom. and listen — a value less than zero switches DAR correction OFF. float, default 7000.0. full EsoRex config name: muse.muse_scipost_correct_dar.lambdaref [default = 7000.0]. 👀
  • --darcheck <str> — carries out a check of the theoretical DAR correction using source centroiding. if it's "correct" she'll also apply an empirical correction. it's a string, default none. full EsoRex config name: muse.muse_scipost_correct_dar.darcheck [default = none]. 🔥
also, friendly reminder: you can make a configuration file containing these options along with suitable default values. for the deets, go check what esorex --help tells you 💜

the full documentation for the muse pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using this URL, and yes it's an ftp link, she's vintage like that:

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

an overview over the existing ESO pipelines lives on this web page:

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

basic documentation about the EsoRex program can be found at the esorex (1) man page 📖

and guess what — it is possible to call the pipelines from python using the python-cpl package. see https://packages.python.org/python-cpl/index.html for further information 🐍

the other recipes of the muse pipeline are, in order: 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_calibrate_flux(7), muse_scipost_combine_pixtables(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). the whole girl group 💅
