.TH VMBIAS "7" "4.1.1" "vmbias" "vimos recipes" .SH NAME vmbias \- Create a master bias from set of raw bias frames. .SH SYNOPSIS esorex .B vmbias [OPTIONS] FILE.sof .SH DESCRIPTION This recipe is used to create a master bias frame from a set of raw bias frames. .PP Input files: DO category: Type: Explanation: Required: BIAS Raw Bias exposure Y CCD_TABLE Calib Bad pixel table . .PP Output files: DO category: Data type: Explanation: MASTER_BIAS FITS image Master bias A CCD table must be specified only if a bad pixel cleaning is requested. .PP For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline User\'s Guide. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-\-AllowSingleFrames\fR \fI\fR Frame combination method is ignored. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.stacking.singleframes\fR [default = \fITrue\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-StackMethod\fR \fI\fR Frame combination method (str; default: \'Median\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.stacking.method\fR [default = \fIMedian\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-KSigmaLow\fR \fI\fR Low threshold for K\-sigma clipping method (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.stacking.ksigma.low\fR [default = \fI5.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-KSigmaHigh\fR \fI\fR High threshold for K\-sigma clipping method (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.stacking.ksigma.high\fR [default = \fI5.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-MinRejection\fR \fI\fR Number of lowest rejected values for rejection method (int; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.stacking.minmax.minimum\fR [default = \fI1\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-MaxRejection\fR \fI\fR Number of highest rejected values for rejection method (int; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.stacking.minmax.maximum\fR [default = \fI1\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-RemoveOverscan\fR \fI\fR Remove overscan regions from master bias (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.bias.overscan.remove\fR [default = \fITrue\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-CleanBadPixel\fR \fI\fR Bad pixel correction on master bias (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.bias.badpixel.clean\fR [default = \fIFalse\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-CleanCosmic\fR \fI\fR Cosmic ray removal from each raw bias (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.bias.cosmics.clean\fR [default = \fIFalse\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-ComputeQC\fR \fI\fR Compute QC1 parameters (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBvimos.Parameters.bias.quality.enable\fR [default = \fITrue\fR]. .PP 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. .SH SEE ALSO The full documentation for the vimos pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL: .IP .B ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/vimos/vimos\-pipeline\-manual\-6.9.pdf .PP An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page \fBhttps://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/\fR. .PP Basic documentation about the EsoRex program can be found at the esorex (1) man page. .PP It is possible to call the pipelines from python using the python\-cpl package.
