--- name: "vmimobsjitter" section: "7" platform: "linux" package: "cpl-plugin-vimos-doc" version: "3.2.3+dfsg-2" release: "Debian 10 (Buster)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/vmimobsjitter" --- # vmimobsjitter(7) Reduce and combine a set of jittered imaging exposures. ## NAME vmimobsjitter - Reduce and combine a set of jittered imaging exposures. ## SYNOPSIS esorex **vmimobsjitter** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof ## DESCRIPTION This recipe is used to apply basic reduction steps to a sequence of exposures made in direct imaging mode, and to combine them in a single image. Each input image is processed in the same way as by recipe vmimobsstare, therefore what characterises the vmimobsjitter is just the final combination of the input frames. Input files: DO category: Type: Explanation: Required:\ IMG\_SCIENCE Raw Science exposure Y\ MASTER\_BIAS Calib Master bias Y\ MASTER\_DARK Calib Master dark . IMG\_MASTER\_SKY\_FLAT Calib Master sky flat Y\ PHOT\_COEFF\_TABLE Calib Photometric table . CCD\_TABLE Calib Bad pixel table . Output files: DO category: Data type: Explanation:\ IMG\_SCIENCE\_REDUCED FITS image Reduced scientific exposure\ IMG\_GALAXY\_TABLE FITS table List of detected objects\ IMG\_FRINGES FITS image Fringes map If a photometric table is specified, the magnitude zeropoint, the atmospheric extinction coefficient, and the colour term are copied from the photometric table to the header of the reduced image. The galaxy table is the output of SExtractor converted into FITS format. A CCD table must be specified in input only if a bad pixel cleaning is requested.
