# naco\_util\_img\_std\_cat(7)

Standard star catalog creation

## NAME

naco\_util\_img\_std\_cat - Standard star catalog creation

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **naco\_util\_img\_std\_cat** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

naco\_util\_img\_std\_cat -- Standard star catalog creation.

Convert ASCII-file(s) to a FITS standard star catalog.

This recipe generates a FITS standard star catalog for imaging from one or more ASCII-files.

Each line in the text file must have 4+8 fields separated by white-space.

The first field is the star name, e.g. ´HD108903´ which will be stored in a table column labeled ´STARS´.

The next field is the Right Ascension \[degrees\] which will be stored in a table column labeled ´RA´.

The Right Ascension must be non-negative and less than 360.

The next field is the Declination \[degrees\] which will be stored in a table column labeled ´DEC´.

The Declination must be within the range -90 to 90.

The next field is the spectral type which will be stored in a table column labeled ´SP\_TYPE´.

The 8 next fields are the magnitudes for the 8 supported image filters.

Unknown magnitudes must be indicated by the value 99.0.

The filename (without path) of the ASCII file will for each star be added in a table column labeled ´CAT\_NAME´.

The 8 filter names are hard-coded in the recipe.

Lines beginning with a hash (#) are treated as comments.

The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged: NACO-ASCII-file IMG\_STD\_ASCII
