Standard star observations from # GS-2003B-SV-101-eng # # In this script it is assumed that the raw data files are in directory # # /net/tyl/export/data/gemini_testdata/trecs_testdata # # and that the script is run in a different directory (to avoid changing the # raw data files). Change the directory name to whatever value is appropriate # for your setup. # # # One needs to load the gemini and midir packages before carrying # out these processing steps. In IRAF it looks something like this (enter # "gemini", then "midir" at the IRAF prompt): # # cl> gemini # flamingos. gmos. niri. quirc. # gemtools. midir. oscir. # ge> midir # midirinfo miregister mistack tbackground # mbackground midobpm miview tprepare # mibackground midoflat mbackground tview # mibpm miflat mprepare # midirexamples mireduce mview # mi> # # # Set the logfile name midir.logfile="20030916_GS-2003B-SV-101-eng.log" # The following does the step by step reduction for one file out of the # test data file set. # # Step 1: check for bad frames automaticly (it will not find any bad frames # in this data file) # # This produces file bS20030916S0067.fits. # tbackground S20030916S0067 rawpath=/net/tyl/export/data/gemini_testdata/trecs_testdata # # Step 2: look at the frames interactively to detect bad frames # (again, not needed in this case since all the frames are good) # # Type "x" in the display window to exit. # # The "fl_delete-" flag means that there will be an output file whether # or not any frames are marked as "bad" (so that the subsequent steps # can use this file). # # It produces file vbS20030916S0067.fits. tview bS20030916S0067 zrange=yes zscale=no ztrans="linear" fl_delete- # # Step 3: "prepare" the file (stack up frames for each NOD position) # # This produces file tvbS20030916S0067.fits tprepare vbS20030916S0067 # # Step 4: stack the frames for the different NODs # # This produces file stvbS20030916S0067.fits mistack tvbS20030916S0067 # # Step 5: mask bad pixels # (using the package bad pixel mask in this case) # # This produces file fstvbS20030916S0067.fits. mireduce stvbS20030916S0067 outpref="f" fl_mask+ fl_flat- fl_background- fl_view- stackoption="stack" fl_display=no # # for convenience: rename the file # imrename fstvbS20030916S0067 frame67 # # look at the resulting image in the stdimage display, linear scale # display frame67[1] 1 zrange=yes zscale=no ztrans="linear" # # Optional step: make a flat field frame (uses two of the test data files) # # Actually the flat field file that results is not useful since the # attempted sky flat observations used here are not of good quality. # # The output file is named flat10p4.fits. miflat rS20030714S0141 rS20030714S0142 flat10p4 rawpath=/net/tyl/export/data/gemini_testdata/trecs_testdata # # Optional step: apply the flat field using "mireduce" # # Since the "flat10p4" file is not of good quality, this does not # actually improve the resulting image. # # The output file name is specified as flat_frame67.fits by the command mireduce frame67 outimage="flat_frame67" flatfieldfile="flat10p4" fl_flat+ fl_background- fl_view- fl_mask- stackoption="stack" fl_display=no logfile="flat.log" # # Minimum standard procssing of all the files: it "prepares" and then "stacks" # all the raw data files in the test data directory. # # The output files are named "reducedS20030916S0067.fits", etc. mireduce S20030916* rawpath=/net/tyl/export/data/gemini_testdata/trecs_testdata outpref="reduced" fl_background+ fl_view- fl_mask- fl_flat- stackoption="stack" fl_display=no logfile="process.log" # # If one wishes to register the frames rather than stacking them, one can set # the "stackoption" to "register" # # This produces files ttS20030916S0074.fits and regS20030916S0074.fits, the # first one being the registered "prepared" image, the second one being # the final registered image. mireduce S20030916S0074 rawpath=/net/tyl/export/data/gemini_testdata/trecs_testdata outpref="reg" fl_background- fl_view- fl_mask- fl_flat- stackoption="register" fl_display=no logfile="process.log" # If it all ran successfully, you should have the following files in the # directory: # # bS20030916S0067.fits # files.list # flat10p4.fits # flat_frame67.fits # flat.log # frame67.fits # midir.log # process.log # reducedS20030916S0067.fits # reducedS20030916S0068.fits # reducedS20030916S0069.fits # reducedS20030916S0070.fits # reducedS20030916S0071.fits # reducedS20030916S0072.fits # reducedS20030916S0073.fits # reducedS20030916S0074.fits # regS20030916S0074.fits # stvbS20030916S0067.fits # tS20030916S0067.fits # tS20030916S0068.fits # tS20030916S0069.fits # tS20030916S0070.fits # tS20030916S0071.fits # tS20030916S0072.fits # tS20030916S0073.fits # tS20030916S0074.fits # ttS20030916S0074.fits # tvbS20030916S0067.fits # vbS20030916S0067.fits #
