IFU: Data Reduction Recipes
The following tables describe the UIST IFU ORACDR recipes; click on the recipe name for more information. The Requirements listed below are frames that should be obtained prior to use of the recipe, although data can always be re-reduced when the appropriate frames have been taken.
IMPORTANT: Please note that with EXTENDED_SOURCE the observes in an OT sequence (in a “quad”) must be labelled as “Object” and “Sky”, even when sliding a point source between the top and bottom halves of the IFU field of view. With MAP_EXTENDED_SOURCE all observes should be labelled as “Object”. Use the sequences provided in the template library if you’re not sure.
Recipe Name | Requirements | Comments |
---|---|---|
REDUCE_FLAT | None | Stores as a flat |
REDUCE_ARC | Flat | Stores as an arc |
Recipe Name | Requirements | Comments |
---|---|---|
EXTENDED_SOURCE | Flat, arc, standard | For observations with one position and offset to sky |
EXTENDED_SOURCE_NOSTD | Flat, arc | As above, but with no standard |
MAP_EXTENDED_SOURCE* | Flat, arc, standard | Map a source with several IFU positions |
MAP_EXTENDED_SOURCE_NOSTD * | Flat, arc | Map a source without a standard |
*Use these recipes (in preference to EXTENDED_SOURCE) and the associated Template Library Sequence in the OT if you want to dither the on-source frames, e.g. by a few tenths of an arcsecond.
