# kmos\_reconstruct(7)

Performs the cube reconstruction

## NAME

kmos\_reconstruct - Performs the cube reconstruction

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **kmos\_reconstruct** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

Data with or without noise is reconstructed into a cube using X/Y/LCAL, YCAL The input data can contain noise extensions and will be reconstructed into additional extensions.

If an OH spectrum is given in the SOF file the lambda axis will be corrected using the OH lines as reference.

  Input files:

## OPTIONS

- **--imethod** *\<str\>*

  Method to use for interpolation. \["NN" (nearest neighbour), "lwNN" (linear weighted nearest neighbor), "swNN" (square weighted nearest neighbor), "MS" (Modified Shepard´s method)"CS" (Cubic spline)\] (str; default: ´CS´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.imethod** \[default = *CS*\].

- **--neighborhoodRange** *\<float\>*

  Defines the range to search for neighbors. in pixels (float; default: 1.001). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.neighborhoodRange** \[default = *1.001*\].

- **--flux** *\<bool\>*

  TRUE: Apply flux conservation. FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.flux** \[default = *False*\].

- **--detimg** *\<bool\>*

  TRUE: if resampled detector frame should be created, FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.detectorimage** \[default = *False*\].

- **--file\_extension** *\<bool\>*

  TRUE: if OBS\_ID keyword should be appended to output frames, FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.file\_extension** \[default = *False*\].

- **--pix\_scale** *\<float\>*

  Change the pixel scale \[arcsec\]. Default of 0.2" results into cubes of 14x14pix, a scale of 0.1" results into cubes of 28x28pix, etc. (float; default: 0.2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.pix\_scale** \[default = *0.2*\].

- **--xcal\_interpolation** *\<bool\>*

  TRUE: Interpolate xcal between rotator angles. FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.xcal\_interpolation** \[default = *True*\].

- **--oscan** *\<bool\>*

  Apply Overscan Correction (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.oscan** \[default = *True*\].

- **--b\_samples** *\<int\>*

  The number of samples in wavelength for the reconstructed cube (int; default: 2048). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.kmos\_reconstruct.b\_samples** \[default = *2048*\].

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.
