spectral-lines

spectral-lines uses the information in an observation definition file to calculate the expected locations, on each chip, of spectral lines. as well as their location on an 8-chip mosaic. Output is a file containing coordinate information, aperture type, and object name.

USAGE
 spectral-lines -o observset  -l linefile  -b binning [-c][-e]
INPUT
 observset.obsdef  is the applicable observation definition file
linefile                     is a file containing a list of wavelengths of lines to be plotted
binning          is the binning of the ccd data
OUTPUT
 observset.xy       aperture data file
PARAMETERS
none


Details:

if linefile is a number (i.e. contains no alphabetical characters) it is interpreted as a single wavelength for the linelist
if the flag -c is included, spectral-lines calculates the positions of objects along the slit rather that the slit center; if the flag -e is included, both ends of the slit are marked instead.

Each line of the output file has the following format:

X(mosaic)   Y(mosaic)   Object #    ObjectName   Chip      X(ccd)     Y(ccd)    Wavelength
