It is recommended to provide three or more dark exposures to produce a reasonable master with associated noise. Input files:\ DO CATG Type Explanation Required #Frames\ \------- ----- ----------- -------- -------\ DARK RAW Dark exposures Y 1-n \ (at least 3 frames recommended) Output files:\ DO CATG Type Explanation\ \------- ----- -----------\ MASTER\_DARK F2D Calculated master dark frames\ BADPIXEL\_DARK B2D Associated badpixel frames ## OPTIONS - **--oscan** *\* Apply Overscan Correction (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.oscan** \[default = *True*\]. - **--pos\_bad\_pix\_rej** *\* The positive rejection threshold for bad pixels (float; default: 50.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.pos\_bad\_pix\_rej** \[default = *50.0*\]. - **--neg\_bad\_pix\_rej** *\* The negative rejection threshold for bad pixels (float; default: 50.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.neg\_bad\_pix\_rej** \[default = *50.0*\]. - **--file\_extension** *\* Controls if EXPTIME should be appended to product filenames (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.file\_extension** \[default = *False*\]. - **--cmethod** *\* Apply "average", "median", "sum", "min\_max." or "ksigma". (str; default: ´ksigma´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.cmethod** \[default = *ksigma*\]. - **--cpos\_rej** *\* The positive rejection threshold for kappa-sigma-clipping (sigma). (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.cpos\_rej** \[default = *3.0*\]. - **--cneg\_rej** *\* The negative rejection threshold for kappa-sigma-clipping (sigma). (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.cneg\_rej** \[default = *3.0*\]. - **--citer** *\* The number of iterations for kappa-sigma-clipping. (int; default: 3). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.citer** \[default = *3*\]. - **--cmax** *\* The number of maximum pixel values to clip with min/max-clipping. (int; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.cmax** \[default = *1*\]. - **--cmin** *\* The number of minimum pixel values to clip with min/max-clipping. (int; default: 1). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_dark.cmin** \[default = *1*\]. Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values.

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.
