vmifucombinecube - Rearrange into cube format images of extracted spectraproduced by vmifucalib, vmifuscience, and vmifustandard.
esorex vmifucombinecube [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
This recipe is used to rearrange into a single cube the images of extracted spectra from different VIMOS quadrants. Such images are created by the recipes vmifucalib, vmifuscience, and vmifustandard, and the classification tag of the product depends on the classification tag of the inputs: Input Output 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, so that they cannot be more than 4. The allocated cubes are the smallest possible, depending on the number of quadrants involved and on whether the IFU shutter was on or off. The smallest cubes (20x20xN) are produced when just one quadrant is input and the shutter was on. The largest cubes (80x80xN) are produced when 3 or more quadrants are given in input (and when either quadrants 1 and 3, or 2 and 4, are input), and the shutter was off. Pixels belonging to missing quadrants are padded with zeroes if necessary.
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.
The full documentation for the vimos pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL: ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/vimos/vimos-pipeline-manual-6.9.pdf An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page http://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 http://packages.python.org/python-cpl/index.html for further information.
