.TH MUSE_BIAS "7" "2.6.0" "muse_bias" "muse recipes" .SH NAME muse_bias \- Combine several separate bias images into one master bias file. .SH SYNOPSIS esorex .B muse_bias [OPTIONS] FILE.sof .SH DESCRIPTION This recipe combines several separate bias images into one master bias file. The master bias contains the combined pixel values, in adu, of the raw bias exposures, with respect to the image combination method used. Processing trims the raw data and records the overscan statistics, corrects the data levels using the overscan (if overscan is not "none") and combines the exposures using input parameters. The read\-out noise is computed for each quadrant of the raw input images and stored as QC parameter. The variance extension is filled with an initial value accordingly, before image combination. Further QC statistics are computed on the output master bias. Additionally, bad columns are searched for and marked in the data quality extension. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-\-nifu\fR \fI\fR IFU to handle. If set to 0, all IFUs are processed serially. If set to \-1, all IFUs are processed in parallel. (int; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.nifu\fR [default = \fI0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-overscan\fR \fI\fR If this is "none", stop when detecting discrepant overscan levels (see ovscsigma), for "offset" it assumes that the mean overscan level represents the real offset in the bias levels of the exposures involved, and adjusts the data accordingly; for "vpoly", a polynomial is fit to the vertical overscan and subtracted from the whole quadrant. (str; default: \'vpoly\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.overscan\fR [default = \fIvpoly\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-ovscreject\fR \fI\fR This influences how values are rejected when computing overscan statistics. Either no rejection at all ("none"), rejection using the DCR algorithm ("dcr"), or rejection using an iterative constant fit ("fit"). (str; default: \'dcr\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.ovscreject\fR [default = \fIdcr\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-ovscsigma\fR \fI\fR If the deviation of mean overscan levels between a raw input image and the reference image is higher than |ovscsigma x stdev|, stop the processing. If overscan="vpoly", this is used as sigma rejection level for the iterative polynomial fit (the level comparison is then done afterwards with |100 x stdev| to guard against incompatible settings). Has no effect for overscan="offset". (float; default: 30.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.ovscsigma\fR [default = \fI30.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-ovscignore\fR \fI\fR The number of pixels of the overscan adjacent to the data section of the CCD that are ignored when computing statistics or fits. (int; default: 3). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.ovscignore\fR [default = \fI3\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-combine\fR \fI\fR Type of image combination to use. (str; default: \'sigclip\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.combine\fR [default = \fIsigclip\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-nlow\fR \fI\fR Number of minimum pixels to reject with minmax. (int; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.nlow\fR [default = \fI1\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-nhigh\fR \fI\fR Number of maximum pixels to reject with minmax. (int; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.nhigh\fR [default = \fI1\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-nkeep\fR \fI\fR Number of pixels to keep with minmax. (int; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.nkeep\fR [default = \fI1\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-lsigma\fR \fI\fR Low sigma for pixel rejection with sigclip. (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.lsigma\fR [default = \fI3.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-hsigma\fR \fI\fR High sigma for pixel rejection with sigclip. (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.hsigma\fR [default = \fI3.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-losigmabadpix\fR \fI\fR Low sigma to find dark columns in the combined bias (float; default: 30.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.losigmabadpix\fR [default = \fI30.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-hisigmabadpix\fR \fI\fR High sigma to find bright columns in the combined bias (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.hisigmabadpix\fR [default = \fI3.0\fR]. .TP \fB\-\-merge\fR \fI\fR Merge output products from different IFUs into a common file. (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is \fBmuse.muse_bias.merge\fR [default = \fIFalse\fR]. .PP Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values.
