pypeit.spectrographs.vlt_sinfoni module

Module for VLT/SINFONI specific methods.

class pypeit.spectrographs.vlt_sinfoni.VLTSINFONISpectrograph[source]

Bases: Spectrograph

Child to handle VLT/SINFONI specific code

camera = 'SINFONI': Name of the spectrograph camera or arm. This is used by specdb, so use that naming convention

check_frame_type(ftype, fitstbl, exprng=None)[source]

Check for frames of the provided type.

Parameters:

ftype (str) – Type of frame to check. Must be a valid frame type; see frame-type Definitions.
fitstbl (astropy.table.Table) – The table with the metadata for one or more frames to check.
exprng (list, optional) – Range in the allowed exposure time for a frame of type ftype. See pypeit.core.framematch.check_frame_exptime().

Returns:

Boolean array with the flags selecting the exposures in fitstbl that are ftype type frames.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

comment = 'Gratings tested: K': A brief comment or description regarding PypeIt usage with this spectrograph.

compound_meta(headarr, meta_key)[source]

Methods to generate metadata requiring interpretation of the header data, instead of simply reading the value of a header card.

Parameters:

headarr (list) – List of astropy.io.fits.Header objects.
meta_key (str) – Metadata keyword to construct.

Returns:

Metadata value read from the header(s).

Return type:

object

configuration_keys()[source]

Return the metadata keys that define a unique instrument configuration.

This list is used by PypeItMetaData to identify the unique configurations among the list of frames read for a given reduction.

Returns:: List of keywords of data pulled from file headers and used to constuct the PypeItMetaData object.
Return type:: list

classmethod default_pypeit_par()[source]

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)[source]

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 = 'SINFONI': Name of the spectrograph camera or arm from the Header. Usually the INSTRUME card.

init_meta()[source]

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.

lamps(fitstbl, status)[source]

Check the lamp status.

Parameters:

fitstbl (astropy.table.Table) – The table with the fits header meta data.
status (str) – The status to check. Can be 'off', 'arcs', or 'dome'.

Returns:

A boolean array selecting fits files that meet the selected lamp status.

Return type:

numpy.ndarray

Raises:

ValueError – Raised if the status is not one of the valid options.

name = 'vlt_sinfoni': The name of the spectrograph. See Spectrographs for the currently supported spectrographs.

ndet = 1: Number of detectors for this instrument.

pypeit_file_keys()[source]

Define the list of keys to be output into a standard PypeIt file.

Returns:: The list of keywords in the relevant PypeItMetaData instance to print to the PypeIt Reduction File.
Return type:: list

raw_header_cards()[source]

Return additional raw header cards to be propagated in downstream output files for configuration identification.

The list of raw data FITS keywords should be those used to populate the configuration_keys() or are used in config_specific_par() for a particular spectrograph, if different from the name of the PypeIt metadata keyword.

This list is used by subheader_for_spec() to include additional FITS keywords in downstream output files.

Returns:: List of keywords from the raw data files that should be propagated in output files.
Return type:: list

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.
