💫 NACO_UTIL_IMG_STD_CAT(7) 💫

okay bestie, welcome to the naco recipes glow-up corner ✨ this one's naco_util_img_std_cat, and it's giving "make me a star catalog" energy 👑

🌟 NAME 🌟

naco_util_img_std_cat — Standard star catalog creation 💖

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

esorex naco_util_img_std_cat [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, naco_util_img_std_cat is literally Standard star catalog creation. That's the whole vibe. 💅

What it does: it converts ASCII-file(s) into a FITS standard star catalog. ✨

This recipe generates a FITS standard star catalog for imaging, and it pulls from one or more ASCII-files. More files, more stars, no cap.

Now here's the part where you gotta pay attention, because the format is strict bestie 😭

Every single line in the text file must have 4+8 fields, and they gotta be separated by white-space. Like, white-space only, okay?

Let me break the fields down for you, one by one, because this is the main character section 🫶

  • Field 1 — the star name, e.g. ´HD108903´. This one gets stored in a table column labeled ´STARS´. ⭐
  • Field 2 — the Right Ascension in [degrees]. It goes into a table column labeled ´RA´. The Right Ascension must be non-negative and less than 360. Don't test it. 🙈
  • Field 3 — the Declination in [degrees]. Stored in a table column labeled ´DEC´. The Declination must be within the range -90 to 90. 💀
  • Field 4 — the spectral type. That one lives in a table column labeled ´SP_TYPE´.
  • Fields 5 through 12 — the next 8 fields are the magnitudes for the 8 supported image filters. 🌈
And if a magnitude is unknown? You mark it with the value 99.0. That's the signal, iykyk. 👀

Oh and also — the filename (without path) of the ASCII file gets added in a table column labeled ´CAT_NAME´, and it does that for each star. Cute, right? 🎀

The 8 filter names are hard-coded in the recipe. So like, don't go looking for them elsewhere, they live there, periodt.

Lines beginning with a hash (#) are treated as comments. Blessed. 🙏

And the files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged:

NACO-ASCII-file IMG_STD_ASCII

Tag it right or it's not gonna work, bestie, that's just how it is. 🧚

✨ OPTIONS ✨
