The KMOS 1.2.8 pipeline
These pages describe the python interface for the KMOS pipeline recipes.
Standard recipes
- kmo_dark
- Create master dark frame & bad pixel mask
- kmo_flat
- Create master flatfield frame and badpixel map to be used during science reduction
- kmo_wave_cal
- Create a calibration frame encoding the spectral position (i.e. wavelength) of each pixel on the detector.
- kmo_illumination
- Create a calibration frame to correct spatial non-uniformity of flatfield.
- kmo_std_star
- Create the telluric correction frame.
- kmo_sci_red
- Reconstruct obj/sky-pairs individually and combine them afterwards
Additional recipes
- kmo_dev_setup
- Create aligned KMOS files out of test frames
- kmo_copy
- Copy a section of a cube to another cube, image or spectrum
- kmo_fits_check
- Check contents of a KMOS fits-file
- kmo_fits_stack
- Creates KMOS conform fits-files
- kmo_noise_map
- Generate a noise map from a raw frame
- kmo_extract_spec
- Extract a spectrum from a cube.
- kmo_rotate
- Rotate a cube spatially
- kmo_multi_reconstruct
- Reconstruct and combine obj/sky-pairs in one step.
- kmo_sky_tweak
- Removal of OH sky lines
- kmo_shift
- Shift a cube spatially
- kmo_arithmetic
- Perform basic arithmetic on cubes
- kmo_fits_strip
- Strip noise, rotator and/or empty extensions from a processed KMOS fits frame
- kmo_combine
- Combine reconstructed cubes
- kmo_illumination_flat
- Alternative to kmo_illumination based on flatfield frames.
- kmo_make_image
- Collapse a cube to create a spatial image
- kmo_stats
- Perform basic statistics on a KMOS-conform fits-file
- kmo_sky_mask
- Create a mask of spatial pixels that indicates which pixels can be considered as sky.
- kmo_fit_profile
- Fit spectral line profiles as well as spatial profiles with a simple function - for example to measure resolution or find the centre of a source
- kmo_reconstruct
- Performs the cube reconstruction using different interpolation methods.
Bug reports
If you experience an unexpected behavior of any component of the KMOS
pipeline recipes package, please, first refer to the list of known problems
and limitations in the pipeline manual of the current KMOS pipeline
release.
For any other issues or requests, please, send a report to the ESO User
Support Department, describing:
- the KMOS pipeline version,
- the version of your OS and C compiler,
- the exact sequence of actions that were performed before the problem occurred,
- what were precisely the symptoms and the possible error message(s),
- whether the problem is repeatable.
