sci_ID and det need to have been set internally prior to calling this method

Parameters

det (int) – Detector number (1-indexed)
sciImg (PypeItImage) – Data container that holds a single image from a single detector its related images (e.g. ivar, mask)

The six numpy.ndarray objects are (1) the science image, (2) its inverse variance, (3) the sky model, (4) the object model, (5) the model inverse variance, and (6) the mask.

Return type

tuple

get_sci_metadata(frame, det)[source]

Grab the meta data for a given science frame and specific detector

Parameters

frame (int) – Frame index
det (int) – Detector index

Returns

5 objects are returned::

str: Object type; science or standard
str: Setup/configuration string
astropy.time.Time: Time of observation
str: Basename of the frame
str: Binning of the detector

static get_spec_file_name(science_path, basename, twod=False)[source]

get_std_outfile(standard_frames)[source]

Return the spec1d file name for a reduced standard to use as a tracing crutch.

The file is either constructed using the provided standard frame indices or it is directly pulled from the FindObjPar parameters in par. The latter takes precedence. If more than one row is provided by standard_frames, the first index is used.

Parameters: standard_frames (array-like) – Set of rows in fitstbl with standards.
Returns: Full path to the standard spec1d output file to use.
Return type: str

load_skyregions(initial_slits=False, scifile=None, frame=None, spat_flexure=None)[source]

Generate or load sky regions, if defined by the user.

Sky regions are defined by the internal provided parameters; see user_regions in SkySubPar. If included in the pypeit file like so,

[reduce]
    [[skysub]]
        user_regions = :25,75:

The first and last 25% of all slits are used as sky. If the user has used the pypeit_skysub_regions GUI to generate a sky mask for a given frame, this can be searched for and loaded by setting the parameter to user:

[reduce]
    [[skysub]]
        user_regions = user

Parameters

initial_slits (bool, optional) – Flag to use the initial slits before any tweaking based on the slit-illumination profile; see select_edges().
scifile (str, optional) – The file name used to define the user-based sky regions. Only used if user_regions = user.
frame (int, optional) – The index of the frame used to construct the calibration key. Only used if user_regions = user.
spat_flexure (float, None, optional) – The spatial flexure (measured in pixels) of the science frame relative to the trace frame.

Returns

skymask – A boolean array used to select sky pixels; i.e., True is a pixel that corresponds to a sky region. If the user_regions parameter is not set (or an empty string), the returned value is None.

Return type

numpy.ndarray

msgs_reset()[source]: Reset the msgs object

objfind_one(frames, det, bg_frames=None, std_outfile=None)[source]
