✨ NAME ✨

vmspphot — apply to IFU or MOS 1D-extracted spectra a flux correction. that's it, that's the whole job. flux correction, but make it fashion 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

esorex vmspphot [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

yes, you run it through esorex, you feed it a .sof file, and you give it [OPTIONS]. slay.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --ApplyResponse <bool> — Apply instrument response. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is vimos.Parameters.flux.response [default = True].

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.
