💫 visir_util_spc_std_cat(7) — the glow-up edition 💫

okay bestie, welcome to visir_util_spc_std_cat, section 7 of the manual, and yes she's giving cosmic catalog realness. This is the VISIR recipe that builds you a FITS catalog of spectroscopic standard stars. she's not like other recipes. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

visir_util_spc_std_cat — generate a FITS catalog of spectroscopic standard stars 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

esorex visir_util_spc_std_cat [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

that's it. that's the whole vibe. esorex, the recipe name, your options, and your .sof file. slay. 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so this recipe's whole job is to generate a FITS catalog of spectroscopic standard stars for the VISIR pipeline. that's the mission. no cap. 🔥

your sof file? it shall consist of lines with the name of an ASCII-file named <Star_Name>.txt, like for example HD133165.txt, and the tag SPC_CAT_ASCII. so like, that's the format bestie, don't come at her with anything else. 💖

all input ASCII-files must comprise the same number of lines. like, all of them. matching. periodt. 🌈

now the tea on the file contents 🍓:

  • The first line of the ASCII-file must have 6 fields separated by white-space.
  • The first three fields are the RA (hh mm ss) which will be stored in degrees in a table column labeled RA — all three are non-negative and hh and mm are integer.
  • The 3 last fields are the DEC (dd mm ss) which will be stored in degrees in a table column labeled DEC — all three are non-negative, dd and mm are integer, and dd has either a + or a - prepended (including -00). yes even negative zero. iconic behaviour honestly. 😭
  • The remaining lines must all consist of two fields separated by white-space.
  • The first field is the wavelength (in microns) and the second is the (positive) model flux in W/m2/m. the wavelengths must be identical in all the input files. every single one. no exceptions bestie, she will notice. 👀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

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.

like, genuinely, go read esorex --help — that's where the actual option lore lives. i'm just the messenger. 🫶

the full documentation for the visir pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL:

an overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page https://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/.

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

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.
