pypeit.spectrographs.jwst_nirspec module

Module for JWST NIRSpec specific methods.

class pypeit.spectrographs.jwst_nirspec.JWSTNIRSpecSpectrograph

Bases: Spectrograph

Child to handle JWST NIRSpec specific code

camera = 'NIRSPEC'

Name of the spectrograph camera or arm. This is used by specdb, so use that naming convention

classmethod default_pypeit_par()

Return the default parameters to use for this instrument.

Returns

Parameters required by all of PypeIt methods.

Return type

PypeItPar

get_detector_par(det, hdu=None)

Return metadata for the selected detector.

Parameters

• det (int) – 1-indexed detector number.

• hdu (astropy.io.fits.HDUList, optional) – The open fits file with the raw image of interest. If not provided, frame-dependent parameters are set to a default.

Returns

Object with the detector metadata.

Return type

DetectorContainer

header_name = 'jwst_nirspec'

Name of the spectrograph camera or arm from the Header. Usually the INSTRUME card.

init_meta()

Define how metadata are derived from the spectrograph files.

That is, this associates the PypeIt-specific metadata keywords with the instrument-specific header cards using meta.

name = 'jwst_nirspec'

The name of the spectrograph. See Spectrographs for the currently supported spectrographs.

ndet = 2

Number of detectors for this instrument.

supported = True

Flag that PypeIt code base has been sufficiently tested with data from this spectrograph that it is officially supported by the development team.
