.TH FORS_WAVE_CALIB "7" "5.5.7" "fors_wave_calib" "fors recipes" .SH NAME fors_wave_calib \- Derive dispersion relation from rectified arc lamp frame .SH SYNOPSIS esorex .B fors_wave_calib [OPTIONS] FILE.sof .SH DESCRIPTION This recipe is used to wavelength calibrate MOS/MXU slit spectra contained in the rectified arc lamp exposure produced with recipe fors_extract_slits. .PP A pattern\-matching algorithm is applied as in recipe fors_detect_spectra. .PP The input spatial map is used in the production of the wavelength map. .PP Use recipe fors_wave_calib_lss for LSS data, or for MOS/MXU data where all slits have the same offset. For more details on this data reduction strategy please refer to the FORS Pipeline User\'s Manual. .PP Note that specifying an input GRISM_TABLE will set some of the recipe configuration parameters to default values valid for a particular grism. .PP In the table below the MXU acronym can be alternatively read as MOS. .PP Input files: DO category: Type: Explanation: Required: SPATIAL_MAP_MXU Calib Spatial map Y RECTIFIED_LAMP_MXU Calib Rectified arc exposure Y SLIT_LOCATION_MXU Calib Slit location table Y CURV_COEFF_MXU Calib Spectral curvature Y MASTER_LINECAT Calib Line catalog Y GRISM_TABLE Calib Grism table . .PP Output files: DO category: Data type: Explanation: REDUCED_LAMP_MXU FITS image Calibrated arc lamp exposure DISP_COEFF_MXU FITS table Inverse dispersion coefficients DISP_RESIDUALS_MXU FITS image Image of modeling residuals WAVELENGTH_MAP_MXU FITS image Wavelengths mapped on CCD SPECTRAL_RESOLUTION_MXU FITS table Spectral resolution table .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-\-dispersion\fR \fI\fR Expected spectral dispersion (Angstrom/pixel) (float; default: 0.0).
