This Page

The KMOS 1.3.4 pipeline

These pages describe the python interface for the KMOS pipeline recipes.

Standard recipes

kmos_dark
Create master dark frame & bad pixel mask
kmos_flat
Create master flatfield frame and badpixel map
kmos_wave_cal
Create a wavelength calibration frame
kmos_illumination
Create a frame to correct spatial non-uniformity of flatfield
kmo_std_star
Create the telluric correction frame.
kmo_sci_red
Reconstruct obj/sky-pairs individually and combine them afterwards

Additional recipes

kmo_fits_check
Check contents of a KMOS fits-file
kmo_extract_spec
Extract a spectrum from a cube.
kmo_multi_reconstruct
Reconstruct and combine obj/sky-pairs in one step.
kmo_sky_tweak
Removal of OH sky lines
kmo_shift
Shift a cube spatially
kmos_gen_reflines
Create REFLINES calibration file
kmo_stats
Perform basic statistics on a KMOS-conform fits-file
kmo_arithmetic
Perform basic arithmetic on cubes
kmo_fits_strip
Strip noise, rotator and/or empty extensions from a processed KMOS fits frame
kmo_combine
Combine reconstructed cubes
kmo_illumination_flat
Alternative to kmo_illumination based on flatfield frames.
kmo_fit_profile
Fit spectral line profiles as well as spatial profiles with a simple function - for example to measure resolution or find the centre of a source
kmo_make_image
Collapse a cube to create a spatial image
kmo_sky_mask
Create a mask of spatial pixels that indicates which pixels can be considered as sky.
kmo_reconstruct
Performs the cube reconstruction using different interpolation methods.
kmo_copy
Copy a section of a cube to another cube, image or spectrum
kmo_rotate
Rotate a cube spatially
kmo_fits_stack
Creates KMOS conform fits-files
kmo_noise_map
Generate a noise map from a raw frame

Bug reports

If you experience an unexpected behavior of any component of the KMOS pipeline recipes package, please, first refer to the list of known problems and limitations in the pipeline manual of the current KMOS pipeline release.

For any other issues or requests, please, send a report to the ESO User Support Department, describing:

  • the KMOS pipeline version,
  • the version of your OS and C compiler,
  • the exact sequence of actions that were performed before the problem occurred,
  • what were precisely the symptoms and the possible error message(s),
  • whether the problem is repeatable.
