NAME

   vmimcalphot  - Determine photometric calibration from a set of observed
   standard stars.

SYNOPSIS

   esorex vmimcalphot [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

   This  recipe  is  used  to  determine  night  zeropoints,   atmospheric
   extinction  coefficients,  and  colour  terms, from a set of star match
   tables produced by the recipe vmimstandard. The star match  tables  may
   refer  to  different standard star fields, but they must all be derived
   from exposures made with the same filter and the same quadrant.

   Input files:

     DO category:            Type:       Explanation:           Required:
     IMG_STAR_MATCH_TABLE    Product     Lust of standard stars    Y
     PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE       Calib       Photometric table         Y

   Output files:

     DO category:            Data type:  Explanation:
     PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE       FITS table  Upgraded photometric table

   The only product of  this  recipe  is  an  upgraded  PHOTOMETRIC_TABLE,
   carrying   the   newly  computed  zeropoint,  and,  if  requested,  new
   extinction and colour coefficients.

   For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline Users Guide.

OPTIONS

   --Extinction <bool>
          Compute also extinction coefficient (bool; default: False).  The
          full  name  of  this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
          vimos.Parameters.extinction [default = False].

   --ColorTerm <bool>
          Compute also color term (bool; default: False). The full name of
          this    option    for   the   EsoRex   configuration   file   is
          vimos.Parameters.colorterm [default = False].

   --UseColorTerm <bool>
          Use color term in zeropoint computation (bool; default:  False).
          The  full  name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file
          is vimos.Parameters.usecolorterm [default = False].

   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.
