The fors_align_sky_lss recipe =============================================================== .. data:: fors_align_sky_lss Synopsis -------- Upgrade wavelength solution using sky lines Description ----------- This recipe is used to align the wavelength solution based on the arc lamp exposure on a set of sky lines observed on a scientific exposure. The input scientific frames are produced by the recipes fors_remove_bias and fors_flatfield. An input catalog of sky lines can be specified, or an internal one is used. This recipe should be applied to LSS or long-slit like data (MOS/MXU with all slits at the same offset). For multi-slit MOS/MXU data use recipe fors_align_sky instead. Please refer to the FORS PIpeline User's Manual for more details. In the table below the MXU acronym can be alternatively read as MOS and LSS, and SCI as STD.

The following code snippet shows the default settings for the available parameters. :: import cpl fors_align_sky_lss = cpl.Recipe("fors_align_sky_lss") fors_align_sky_lss.param.dispersion = 0.0 fors_align_sky_lss.param.startwavelength = 0.0 fors_align_sky_lss.param.endwavelength = 0.0 fors_align_sky_lss.param.skyalign = 0 fors_align_sky_lss.param.wcolumn = "WLEN" You may also set or overwrite some or all parameters by the recipe parameter `param`, as shown in the following example: :: import cpl fors_align_sky_lss = cpl.Recipe("fors_align_sky_lss") [...] res = fors_align_sky_lss( ..., param = {"dispersion":0.0, "startwavelength":0.0}) .. seealso:: `cpl.Recipe `_ for more information about the recipe object.
