vmimobsjitter - Reduce and combine a set of jittered imaging exposures.
esorex vmimobsjitter [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
This recipe is used to apply basic reduction steps to a sequence of exposures made in direct imaging mode, and to combine them in a single image. Each input image is processed in the same way as by recipe vmimobsstare, therefore what characterises the vmimobsjitter is just the final combination of the input frames. Input files: DO category: Type: Explanation: Required: IMG_SCIENCE Raw Science exposure Y MASTER_BIAS Calib Master bias Y MASTER_DARK Calib Master dark . IMG_MASTER_SKY_FLAT Calib Master sky flat Y PHOT_COEFF_TABLE Calib Photometric table . CCD_TABLE Calib Bad pixel table . Output files: DO category: Data type: Explanation: IMG_SCIENCE_REDUCED FITS image Reduced scientific exposure IMG_GALAXY_TABLE FITS table List of detected objects IMG_FRINGES FITS image Fringes map If a photometric table is specified, the magnitude zeropoint, the atmospheric extinction coefficient, and the colour term are copied from the photometric table to the header of the reduced image. The galaxy table is the output of SExtractor converted into FITS format. A CCD table must be specified in input only if a bad pixel cleaning is requested. For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline Users Guide.
