NACO_IMG_ZPOINT(7)

💫 NACO_IMG_ZPOINT 💫

okay bestie, sit down, we're doing photometry 🎀 this is the naco_img_zpoint manual page from the naco recipes section — Zero point computation recipe ✨ and yes it's giving very specific, very ESO, very "read the whole thing before you run it" energy. let's go 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

naco_img_zpoint — Zero point computation recipe 🔭

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

esorex naco_img_zpoint [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

naco_img_zpoint is the Zero point recipe, no cap 🫶

The files listed in the Set Of Frames (the sof-file, iykyk) must be tagged one of these two ways:

• NACO-raw-file.fits CAL_STD_CHOP
• NACO-raw-file.fits CAL_STD_JITTER

and also:

• NACO-Imaging-Standard-Star-Catalog.fits IMG_STD_CATALOG

and optionally?? you can also toss in a flat field frame, like a little treat 🍓

• NACO-flat-file.fits MASTER_IMG_FLAT

💀 the tagging is not optional, bestie. tag it right or the recipe is gonna be like "who r u".

every single one of these has a full name for the EsoRex configuration file, and I'm listing all of them because we do not skip 💅

• --bg_r1 <float> — The internal radius of the background, in [arcsecond] (float; default: 2.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.bg_r1 [default = 2.0]. 🌈
• --bg_r2 <float> — The external radius of the background, in [arcsecond] (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.bg_r2 [default = 3.0]. 🌸
• --ra <float> — Right Ascension [Degrees] (float; default: 999.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.ra [default = 999.0]. 🧭
• --dec <float> — DEClination [Degrees] (float; default: 999.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.dec [default = 999.0]. 🧭
• --pscale <float> — Pixel scale (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.pscale [default = -1.0]. 📏
• --mag <float> — Magnitude (float; default: 99.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.mag [default = 99.0]. ✨
• --sx <int> — Size of the search window in X-direction [pixel] (int; default: 10). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.sx [default = 10]. 🔍
• --sy <int> — Size of the search window in Y-direction [pixel] (int; default: 10). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.sy [default = 10]. 🔍
• --check_im <bool> — Create the check image (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is naco.naco_img_zpoint.check_im [default = False]. 🖼️
