# sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine(7)

Coadd cubes in an output cube according to user defined offsets

## NAME

sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine - Coadd cubes in an output cube according to user defined offsets

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

This recipe perform cubes combination.

The input files are several cubeses their associated tags should be the same that is supported by the  recipe sinfo\_rec\_jitter: OBS\_OBJ, OBS\_STD, OBS\_PSF.

The output is a cube PRO\_CUBE resulting from the input cubes accurding  to the value of op, where op indicates the operation to be performed specified by the parameter  sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.op\
  having alias ´op´

## OPTIONS

- **--name\_i** *\<str\>*

  Input filename. This must be provided and allow the user to set X and Y cumulative offsets in a two column format (str; default: ´offset.list´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.name\_i** \[default = *offset.list*\].

- **--name\_o** *\<str\>*

  Output filename (str; default: ´out\_coadd\_cube.fits´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.name\_o** \[default = *out\_coadd\_cube.fits*\].

- **--ks\_clip** *\<bool\>*

  Kappa sigma clipping (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.ks\_clip** \[default = *False*\].

- **--scale\_sky** *\<bool\>*

  Scale spatial mean (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.scale\_sky** \[default = *False*\].

- **--kappa** *\<float\>*

  Kappa value for sigma clip (float; default: 2.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.kappa** \[default = *2.0*\].

- **--xsize** *\<long\>*

  Output cube X size (long; default: 80). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.xsize** \[default = *80*\].

- **--ysize** *\<long\>*

  Output cube Y size (long; default: 80). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.sinfo\_utl\_cube\_combine.ysize** \[default = *80*\].

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.
