The muse_scipost_make_cube recipe

muse_scipost_make_cube

Synopsis

Make a MUSE cube from a MUSE pixel table.

Description

This recipe takes a pixel table and resamples it to either a FITS cube or a Euro3D table and optionally to a stacked spectrum. This is a part of the muse_scipost recipe.

Constructor

cpl.Recipe("muse_scipost_make_cube")

Create an object for the recipe muse_scipost_make_cube.

import cpl
muse_scipost_make_cube = cpl.Recipe("muse_scipost_make_cube")

Parameters

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.lambdamin

Cut off the data below this wavelength after loading the pixel table(s). (float; default: 4000.0) [default=4000.0].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.lambdamax

Cut off the data above this wavelength after loading the pixel table(s). (float; default: 10000.0) [default=10000.0].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.resample

The resampling technique to use for the final output cube. (str; default: ‘drizzle’) [default=”drizzle”].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.dx

Horizontal step size for resampling (in arcsec or pixel). The following defaults are taken when this value is set to 0.0: 0.2’’ for WFM, 0.025’’ for NFM, 1.0 if data is in pixel units. (float; default: 0.0) [default=0.0].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.dy

Vertical step size for resampling (in arcsec or pixel). The following defaults are taken when this value is set to 0.0: 0.2’’ for WFM, 0.025’’ for NFM, 1.0 if data is in pixel units. (float; default: 0.0) [default=0.0].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.dlambda

Wavelength step size (in Angstrom). Natural instrument sampling is used, if this is 0.0 (float; default: 0.0) [default=0.0].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.crtype

Type of statistics used for detection of cosmic rays during final resampling. “iraf” uses the variance information, “mean” uses standard (mean/stdev) statistics, “median” uses median and the median median of the absolute median deviation. (str; default: ‘median’) [default=”median”].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.crsigma

Sigma rejection factor to use for cosmic ray rejection during final resampling. A zero or negative value switches cosmic ray rejection off. (float; default: 15.0) [default=15.0].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.rc

Critical radius for the “renka” resampling method. (float; default: 1.25) [default=1.25].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.pixfrac

Pixel down-scaling factor for the “drizzle” resampling method. Up to three, comma-separated, floating-point values can be given. If only one value is given, it applies to all dimensions, two values are interpreted as spatial and spectral direction, respectively, while three are taken as horizontal, vertical, and spectral. (str; default: ‘0.8,0.8’) [default=”0.8,0.8”].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.ld

Number of adjacent pixels to take into account during resampling in all three directions (loop distance); this affects all resampling methods except “nearest”. (int; default: 1) [default=1].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.format

Type of output file format, “Cube” is a standard FITS cube with NAXIS=3 and multiple extensions (for data and variance). The extended “x” formats include the reconstructed image(s) in FITS image extensions within the same file. (str; default: ‘Cube’) [default=”Cube”].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.stacked

If true, write an additional output file in form of a 2D stacked image (x direction is pseudo-spatial, y direction is wavelength). (bool; default: False) [default=False].

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.filter

The filter name(s) to be used for the output field-of-view image. Each name has to correspond to an EXTNAME in an extension of the FILTER_LIST file. If an unsupported filter name is given, creation of the respective image is omitted. If multiple filter names are given, they have to be comma separated. (str; default: ‘white’) [default=”white”].

The following code snippet shows the default settings for the available parameters.

import cpl
muse_scipost_make_cube = cpl.Recipe("muse_scipost_make_cube")

muse_scipost_make_cube.param.lambdamin = 4000.0
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.lambdamax = 10000.0
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.resample = "drizzle"
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.dx = 0.0
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.dy = 0.0
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.dlambda = 0.0
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.crtype = "median"
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.crsigma = 15.0
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.rc = 1.25
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.pixfrac = "0.8,0.8"
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.ld = 1
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.format = "Cube"
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.stacked = False
muse_scipost_make_cube.param.filter = "white"

You may also set or overwrite some or all parameters by the recipe parameter param, as shown in the following example:

import cpl
muse_scipost_make_cube = cpl.Recipe("muse_scipost_make_cube")
[...]
res = muse_scipost_make_cube( ..., param = {"lambdamin":4000.0, "lambdamax":10000.0})
