3.2.5. boxExtraction

Perform box extraction on a 2D echelle spectrum.

Utilized in the dynamic and static wavelength calibration recipes as it is quicker than relying on optimal extraction.

3.2.5.1. Parameters

adinputslist of AstroData

2D echelle frames carrying the STRIPES, F_STRIPES, and STRIPES_MASKS attributes as dicts of sparse arrays.

suffixstr

Suffix to be added to output files.

3.2.5.2. Returns

list of AstroData

The input frames with box-extracted orders for each fiber and uncertainties calculated during the box extraction. Extensions added, one per fiber N in 1-5:

  • REDUCED_ORDERS_FIBER_N

  • BOX_REDUCED_FIBER_N

  • BOX_REDUCED_VAR_N

  • BOX_REDUCED_FLAT_N

  • BPM_FIBER_N
