--- name: "vimos_ima_standard" section: "7" platform: "linux" package: "cpl-plugin-vimos-doc" version: "4.1.7+dfsg-2" release: "Debian 12 (Bookworm)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/vimos_ima_standard" --- # vimos\_ima\_standard(7) Standard field processing for imaging ## NAME vimos\_ima\_standard - Standard field processing for imaging ## SYNOPSIS esorex **vimos\_ima\_standard** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof ## DESCRIPTION vimos\_ima\_standard -- VIMOS standard star recipe. Take a list of standard frames and correct them to remove bias, dark and flat field signatures. Optionally defringe the reddest filter images. Astrometrically and photometrically calibrate the individual images, but do no stacking The program accepts the following files in the SOF: Tag Description STD A list of raw standard images\ MASTER\_BIAS A master bias frame\ MASTER\_DARK A master dark frame\ MASTER\_TWILIGHT\_FLAT A master flat frame\ MASTER\_CONF A master confidence map\ MASTER\_FRINGE A master fringe map (optional)\ MASTER\_FRINGE\_VAR A master fringe variance map (optional)\ MASTER\_READGAIN A master readgain table\ MASTER\_2MASS\_CATALOGUE\_ASTROM A master 2MASS index for astrometry or\ MASTER\_PPMXL\_CATALOGUE\_ASTROM A master PPMXL index for astrometry or\ MASTER\_APASS\_CATALOGUE\_ASTROM A master APASS index for astrometry or\ MASTER\_LOCAL\_CATALOGUE\_ASTROM A master local catalogue index for astrometry\ MASTER\_APASS\_CATALOGUE\_PHOTOM A master APASS index for photometry or\ MASTER\_LOCAL\_CATALOGUE\_PHOTOM A master local catalogue index for photometry\ PHOTCAL\_TAB A photometric calibration table\ SCHLEGEL\_MAP\_NORTH Northern Schlegel Map\ SCHLEGEL\_MAP\_SOUTH Southern Schlegel Map All of these are required unless specified otherwise. ## OPTIONS - **--preview\_only** *\* Preview only?
