# naco\_img\_zpoint(7)

Zero point computation recipe

## NAME

naco\_img\_zpoint - Zero point computation recipe

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **naco\_img\_zpoint** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

naco\_img\_zpoint -- Zero point recipe The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged: NACO-raw-file.fits CAL\_STD\_CHOP or NACO-raw-file.fits CAL\_STD\_JITTER.

NACO-Imaging-Standard-Star-Catalog.fits IMG\_STD\_CATALOG Optionally, a flat field frame may be inluded: NACO-flat-file.fits MASTER\_IMG\_FLAT

## OPTIONS

- **--star\_r** *\<float\>*

  The star radius \[arcsecond\] (float; default: 2.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.star\_r** \[default = *2.0*\].

- **--bg\_r1** *\<float\>*

  The internal radius of the background \[arcsecond\] (float; default: 2.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.bg\_r1** \[default = *2.0*\].

- **--bg\_r2** *\<float\>*

  The external radius of the background \[arcsecond\] (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.bg\_r2** \[default = *3.0*\].

- **--ra** *\<float\>*

  Right Ascension \[Degrees\] (float; default: 999.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.ra** \[default = *999.0*\].

- **--dec** *\<float\>*

  DEClination  \[Degrees\] (float; default: 999.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.dec** \[default = *999.0*\].

- **--pscale** *\<float\>*

  Pixel scale (float; default: -1.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.pscale** \[default = *-1.0*\].

- **--mag** *\<float\>*

  Magnitude (float; default: 99.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.mag** \[default = *99.0*\].

- **--sx** *\<int\>*

  Size of the search window in X-direction \[pixel\] (int; default: 10). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.sx** \[default = *10*\].

- **--sy** *\<int\>*

  Size of the search window in Y-direction \[pixel\] (int; default: 10). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.sy** \[default = *10*\].

- **--check\_im** *\<bool\>*

  Create the check image (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **naco.naco\_img\_zpoint.check\_im** \[default = *False*\].

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.
