💫 VMIFUCOMBINECUBE(7) 💫

okay so bestie, welcome to vmifucombinecube — a recipe from the vimos recipes manual collection. She's a cube-assembler. Let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

vmifucombinecube — rearrange into cube format images of extracted spectra produced by vmifucalib, vmifuscience, and vmifustandard. 🧊✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

esorex vmifucombinecube [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this recipe's whole thing? It takes the images of extracted spectra from different VIMOS quadrants and rearranges them into one single cube. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

Those images are made by the recipes vmifucalib, vmifuscience, and vmifustandard, and the classification tag of the product you get out depends on the classification tag of the inputs you put in:

  • IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED → IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM_CUBE
  • IFU_FLAT_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED → IFU_FLAT_SPECTRUM_CUBE
  • IFU_SCIENCE_REDUCED → IFU_SCIENCE_CUBE
  • IFU_SCIENCE_FLUX_REDUCED → IFU_SCIENCE_FLUX_CUBE
  • IFU_STANDARD_REDUCED → IFU_STANDARD_CUBE

The input images must belong to different quadrants, which is why you literally cannot feed it more than 4. Periodt.

The allocated cubes are the smallest possible ones, depending on how many quadrants are involved and on whether the IFU shutter was on or off:

  • The smallest cubes (20x20xN) happen when just one quadrant is input and the shutter was on.
  • The largest cubes (80x80xN) happen when 3 or more quadrants are given in input (and also when either quadrants 1 and 3, or 2 and 4, are input), and the shutter was off.

Pixels belonging to missing quadrants get padded with zeroes if necessary. No notes, no drama, just zeros. 🫶

💖 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.

(That's the whole options section, bestie — go ask esorex --help, she knows.)
