Generate a generic (empty) bad-pixel mask.

Even though they are both optional, either the precise shape for the image (shape) or an example file that can be read to get the shape (filename) must be provided. In the latter, the file is read, trimmed, and re-oriented to get the output shape. If both shape and filename are provided, shape is ignored.

This is the generic function provided in the base class meaning that all pixels are returned as being valid/unmasked.

Parameters:

filename (str) – An example file to use to get the image shape. Can be None, but shape must be provided, if so. Note the overhead of this function is large if you filename. You’re better off providing shape, if you know it.
det (int) – 1-indexed detector number to use when getting the image shape from the example file.
shape (tuple, optional) – Processed image shape. I.e., if the image for this instrument is re-oriented, trimmed, etc, this shape must be that of the re-oriented (trimmed, etc) image. This is required if filename is None, but ignored otherwise.

Returns:

An integer array with a masked value set to 1 and an unmasked value set to 0. The shape of the returned image should be that of a trimmed and oriented PypeIt processed image. This function specifically is the generic method for the base class, meaning that all pixels are returned as unmasked (0s).

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

fit_2d_det_response(det_resp, gpmask)[source]

Parameters:: det (int, tuple) – The 1-indexed detector number(s). If a tuple, it must include detectors designated as a viable mosaic for spectrograph; see allowed_mosaics().
Returns:: Name for the detector or mosaic.
Return type:: str

get_detector_par(det, hdu=None)[source]

Read/Set the detector metadata.

This method is needed by some instruments that require the detector metadata to be interpreted from the output files. This method is undefined in the base class.

get_echelle_angle_files()[source]

Returns:: List of files
Return type:: list

get_headarr(inp, strict=True)[source]

get_maskdef_slitedges(ccdnum=None, filename=None, debug=None, binning: str = None, trc_path: str = None)[source]

Provides the slit edges positions predicted by the slitmask design.

This method is not defined for all spectrographs. This base-class method raises an exception. This may be because use_maskdesign has been set to True for a spectrograph that does not support it.

Parameters:

trc_path (str, optional) – Path to the first trace file used to generate the trace flat
binning (str, optional) – spec,spat binning of the flat field image
filename (str or list, optional) – Name of the file holding the mask design info or the maskfile and wcs_file in that order

Parameters:

inp (str, Path, astropy.io.fits.Header, list) – Input filename, an astropy.io.fits.Header object, or a list of astropy.io.fits.Header objects. If None, function simply returns None without issuing any warnings/errors, unless required is True.
meta_key (str, list) – A (list of) string(s) with the keywords to read from the file header(s).
required (bool, optional) – The metadata are required and must be available. If it is not, the method will raise an exception. Metadata requirements can be globally defined and/or frame-type specific for each spectrograph, which will override any value given here. See the required and required_ftype keyword in self.meta[meta_key].
ignore_bad_header (bool, optional) – PypeIt expects certain metadata values to have specific datatypes. If the keyword finds the appropriate data but it cannot be cast to the correct datatype, this parameter determines whether or not the method raises an exception. If True, the incorrect type is ignored. It is recommended that this be False unless you know for sure that PypeIt can proceed appropriately. This flag takes precedence over required; i.e., if ignore_bad_header is True, required is ignored.
usr_row (astropy.table.Table, optional) – A single row table with the user-supplied frametype. This is used to determine if the metadata value is required for each frametype. Must contain a columns called frametype; everything else is ignored.
no_fussing (bool, optional) – No type checking or anything. Just pass back the first value retrieved. This is mainly for bound pairs of meta, e.g. ra/dec.

Returns:

Value recovered for (each) keyword. Can be None.

get_mosaic_par()[source]: Return the hard-coded parameters needed to construct detector mosaics.

get_rawimage(raw_file, det)[source]

Warning

When reading multiple detectors for a mosaic, this function expects all detector arrays to have exactly the same shape.

Parameters:

raw_file (str, Path) – File to read
det (int, tuple) – 1-indexed detector(s) to read. An image mosaic is selected using a tuple with the detectors in the mosaic, which must be one of the allowed mosaics returned by allowed_mosaics().

Returns:

detector_par (DetectorContainer, Mosaic) – Detector metadata parameters for one or more detectors.
raw_img (numpy.ndarray) – Raw image for this detector. Shape is 2D if a single detector image is read and 3D if multiple detectors are read. E.g., the image from the first detector in the tuple is accessed using raw_img[0].

exptime (float) – Exposure time in seconds.
rawdatasec_img (numpy.ndarray) – Data (Science) section of the detector as provided by setting the (1-indexed) number of the amplifier used to read each detector pixel. Pixels unassociated with any amplifier are set to 0. Shape is identical to raw_img.

wave0 (float) – The wavelength zeropoint.
dwv (float) – Change in wavelength per spectral pixel.
spatial_scale (float, None, optional) – The spatial scale (units=arcsec/pixel) of the WCS to be used. This variable is fixed, and is independent of the binning. If spatial_scale is set, it will be used for the spatial size of the WCS and the platescale will be ignored. If None, then the platescale will be used.

Returns:

The world-coordinate system.

Return type:

astropy.wcs.WCS

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.

list_detectors(mosaic=False)[source]

List the names of the detectors in this spectrograph.

This is primarily used average_maskdef_offset() to measure the mean offset between the measured and expected slit locations.

Detectors separated along the dispersion direction should be ordered along the first axis of the returned array. For example, Keck/DEIMOS returns:

dets = np.array([['DET01', 'DET02', 'DET03', 'DET04'],
                 ['DET05', 'DET06', 'DET07', 'DET08']])

such that all the bluest detectors are in dets[0], and the slits found in detectors 1 and 5 are just from the blue and red counterparts of the same slit.

Parameters:: mosaic (bool, optional) – Is this a mosaic reduction? It is used to determine how to list the detector, i.e., ‘DET’ or ‘MSC’.
Returns:: The list of detectors in a numpy.ndarray. If the array is 2D, there are detectors separated along the dispersion axis.
Return type:: numpy.ndarray

property loglam_minmax: Return the base-10 logarithm of the first and last wavelength for ouput spectra.
