The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.sex\_exe** \[default = */usr/bin/source-extractor*\]. - **--sex\_config** *\* SExtractor configuration file (str; default: ´/usr/share/cpl- plugins/fors-5.5.6/config/fors.sex´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.sex\_config** \[default = */usr/share/cpl-plugins/fors-5.5.6/config/fors.sex*\]. - **--sex\_mag** *\* SExtractor magnitude (str; default: ´MAG\_APER´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.sex\_mag** \[default = *MAG\_APER*\]. - **--sex\_magerr** *\* SExtractor magnitude error (str; default: ´MAGERR\_APER´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.sex\_magerr** \[default = *MAGERR\_APER*\]. - **--sex\_radius** *\* Background error map median filter radius (unbinned pixels) (int; default: 64). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.sex\_radius** \[default = *64*\]. - **--maxoffset** *\* Maximum acceptable offset between the image and catalogue WCS (pixels) (float; default: 150.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.maxoffset** \[default = *150.0*\]. - **--magcutE** *\* Zeropoint absolute cutoff (magnitude) (float; default: 1.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.magcutE** \[default = *1.0*\]. - **--magcutk** *\* Zeropoint kappa rejection parameter (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.magcutk** \[default = *5.0*\]. - **--magsyserr** *\* Systematic error in magnitude (float; default: 0.01). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **fors.fors\_zeropoint.magsyserr** \[default = *0.01*\]. Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command. ## SEE ALSO The full documentation for the fors pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL: - **ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/fors/fors-pipeline-manual-4.9.pdf** An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page **https://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/**. Basic documentation about the EsoRex program can be found at the esorex (1) man page. It is possible to call the pipelines from python using the python-cpl package.
