# kmo\_fits\_strip(7)

Strip noise, rotator and/or empty extensions from a processed KMOS fits frame

## NAME

kmo\_fits\_strip - Strip noise, rotator and/or empty extensions from a processed KMOS fits frame

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **kmo\_fits\_strip** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

With this recipe KMOS fits frames can be stripped in following way:

\--noise All noise extensions will be removed. Only the data extensions remain.

\--angle Applies only to calibration products from kmo\_flat and kmo\_wave\_cal.

All extensions matching provided angle are kept, the others are removed.

Supply a single integer value.

\--empty All empty extensions will be removed.

\--extension Supply a comma-separated string with integer values indicating the extensions to keep. The other extensions are removed (any data or noise information is disregarded, the values are interpreted absolutely)

The parameters --noise, --angle and --empty can be combined.

When --extension is specified, all other parameters are ignored.

When no parameter is provided, no output will be generated.

## OPTIONS

- **--empty** *\<bool\>*

  TRUE: if empty extensions shall be removed, FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_fits\_strip.empty** \[default = *False*\].

- **--noise** *\<bool\>*

  TRUE: if noise extensions shall be removed, FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_fits\_strip.noise** \[default = *False*\].

- **--angle** *\<int\>*

  All extensions not matching provided angle are stripped. (int; default: -1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_fits\_strip.angle** \[default = *-1*\].

- **--extension** *\<str\>*

  Comma-separated string with integers. All extensions matching these values are stripped. (str; default: None). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmo\_fits\_strip.extension** \[default = *None*\].

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.
