# vmspphot(7)

Apply to IFU or MOS 1D-extracted spectra a flux correction.

## NAME

vmspphot - Apply to IFU or MOS 1D-extracted spectra a flux correction.

## SYNOPSIS

esorex **vmspphot** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof

## DESCRIPTION

This recipe can be used to apply a spectro-photometric flux calibration to any number of 1D-extracted spectral frames generated by the recipes vmmosobsstare, vmmosobsjitter, and vmifuscience.

## OPTIONS

- **--ApplyResponse** *\<bool\>*

  Apply instrument response. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **vimos.Parameters.flux.response** \[default = *True*\].

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.
