This recipe does a complete science reduction. It runs all necessary
calibration recipes depending on the availability of raw/processed
calibration frames.

Input frames are all UVES raw and reference frames:

formatchecks, ARC_LAMP_FORM_xxxx, xxxx=BLUE or RED,
order definition frames, ORDER_FLAT_xxx,
biases, BIAS_xxx,
darks, DARK_xxx,
flats, FLAT_xxx,
arc lamps, ARC_LAMP_xxx,
standard stars, STANDARD_xxx
a wavelength catalogue table,LINE_REFER_TABLE, 
and optionally a wavelength table of bright lines,LINE_INTMON_TABLE, 
used only for computing Quality Control parameters.

a reference standard star flux table, FLUX_STD_TABLE, 
a table describing the atmospheric extintion,EXTCOEFF_TABLE.

optionally, science frames, SCIENCE_xxx, or UVES_SCI_POINT_xxx, 
or UVES_SCI_EXTND_xxx, or UVES_SCI_SLICER_xxx.

Parameters
----------

.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.scired

    Whether or not to do science reduction. If false, only master  calibration frames are created. If false, either zero or all necessary  calibration frames must be provided for each arm (bool; default: True) [default=True].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.debug

    Whether or not to save intermediate results to local directory (bool;  default: False) [default=False].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.plotter

    Any plots produced by the recipe are redirected to the command  specified by this parameter. The plotting command must contain the  substring 'gnuplot' and must be able to parse gnuplot syntax on its  standard input. Valid examples of such a command may include 'gnuplot  -persist' and 'cat > mygnuplot$$.gp'. A finer control of the plotting  options can be obtained by writing an executable script, e.g.  my_gnuplot.pl, that executes gnuplot after setting the desired gnuplot  options (e.g. set terminal pslatex color). To turn off plotting, set  this parameter to 'no' (str; default: 'no') [default="no"].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.process_chip

    For RED arm data process the redl, redu, or both chip(s) (str;  default: 'both') [default="both"].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.nwindows

    Number of extraction windows per trace. The windows will be aligned  (i.e. no overlap and no spacing between adjacent windows). Unless an  offset is specified, the middle window(s) is centered on the trace  (long; default: 3) [default=3].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.length

    Length (in pixels) of each extraction window. This parameter is also  equal to the seperation of adjacent window centers, causing the  extraction windows to always be aligned. The parameter is  automatically adjusted according to the binning of the input raw  frame. If negative, the extraction window length is determined  automatically to cover the full slit (float; default: -1.0) [default=-1.0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.offset

    A global offset (in pixels) of all extraction windows (float; default:  0.0) [default=0.0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.range

    Width (pix) of search window is 2*range + 1. This parameter is  automatically adjusted according to binning. (long; default: 8) [default=8].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.minlines

    Minimum number of lines to detect. If zero, the default value (1100  for BLUE/REDL chips; 1000 for REDU chip) is used. (long; default: 0) [default=0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.maxlines

    Maximum number of lines to detect. If zero, the default value (1600  for BLUE/REDL chip; 1400 for REDU chip) is used. (long; default: 0) [default=0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.shiftmax

    The maximum shift (pix) in either direction compared to guess  solution. This parameter is automatically corrected for binning  (float; default: 10.0) [default=10.0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.shiftstep

    The step size (pix) used when searching for the optimum shift. This  parameter is automatically corrected for binning (float; default: 0.1) [default=0.1].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.shifttoler

    Tolerance (pix) when matching shifted lines. This parameter is not  adjusted according to binning (float; default: 0.05) [default=0.05].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.alpha

    The parameter that controls the distance to the nearest neighbours  (float; default: 0.1) [default=0.1].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.maxerror

    This parameter controls the graceful exit of the identification loop.  If the RMS of the global fit exceeds this value (pix) the iteration  stops (float; default: 20.0) [default=20.0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.degree

    Degrees of the global 2d dispersion polynomial. If a negative number  is specified, the polynomial degrees are automatically selected by  starting from (1, 1) and inreasing the degrees as long as the RMS  residual decreases significantly (long; default: 4) [default=4].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.tolerance

    Tolerance of fit. If positive, the tolerance is in pixel units. If  negative, abs(tolerance) is in wavelength units. Lines with residuals  worse than the tolerance are excluded from the final fit. Unlike in  previous versions, this parameter is not corrected for CCD binning.  This rejection based on the absolute residual in pixel can be  effectively disabled by setting the tolerance to a very large number  (e.g. 9999). In that case outliers will be rejected using only kappa  sigma clipping. (float; default: 0.6) [default=0.6].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.kappa

    Lines with residuals more then kappa stdev are rejected from the final  fit (float; default: 4.0) [default=4.0].

.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.rebin.scale

    Whether or not to multiply by the factor dx/dlambda (pixels per  wavelength) during the rebinning. This option is disabled as default  in concordance with the method used in the MIDAS pipeline. This option  should be set to true to convert the observed flux (in pixel-space) to  a flux per wavelength (in wavelength-space). (bool; default: False) [default=False].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.method

    Extraction method. (2d/optimal not supported by uves_cal_wavecal,  weighted supported only by uves_cal_wavecal, 2d not supported by  uves_cal_response) (str; default: 'average') [default="average"].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.kappa

    In optimal extraction mode, this is the threshold for bad (i.e.  hot/cold) pixel rejection. If a pixel deviates more than kappa*sigma  (where sigma is the uncertainty of the pixel flux) from the inferred  spatial profile, its weight is set to zero. Range: [-1,100]. If this  parameter is negative, no rejection is performed. (float; default:  10.0) [default=10.0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.chunk

.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.profile

    In optimal extraction mode, the kind of profile to use. 'gauss' gives  a Gaussian profile, 'moffat' gives a Moffat profile with beta=4 and a  possible linear sky contribution. 'virtual' uses a virtual resampling  algorithm (i.e. measures and uses the actual object profile).  'constant' assumes a constant spatial profile and allows optimal  extraction of wavelength calibration frames. 'auto' will automatically  select the best method based on the estimated S/N of the object. For  low S/N, 'moffat' or 'gauss' are recommended (for robustness). For  high S/N, 'virtual' is recommended (for accuracy). In the case of  virtual resampling, a precise determination of the order positions is  required; therefore the order-definition is repeated using the  (assumed non-low S/N) science frame (str; default: 'auto') [default="auto"].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.skymethod

    In optimal extraction mode, the sky subtraction method to use.  'median' estimates the sky as the median of pixels along the slit  (ignoring pixels close to the object), whereas 'optimal' does a chi  square minimization along the slit to obtain the best combined object  and sky levels. The optimal method gives the most accurate sky  determination but is also a bit slower than the median method (str;  default: 'optimal') [default="optimal"].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.oversample

    The oversampling factor used for the virtual resampling algorithm. If  negative, the value 5 is used for S/N <=200, and the value 10 is used  if the estimated S/N is > 200 (long; default: -1) [default=-1].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_wavecal.extract.best

    (optimal extraction only) If false (fastest), the spectrum is  extracted only once. If true (best), the spectrum is extracted twice,  the second time using improved variance estimates based on the first  iteration. Better variance estimates slightly improve the obtained  signal to noise but at the cost of increased execution time (bool;  default: True) [default=True].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_mflat.norm_method

    Method used to build master frame  (str; default: 'explevel') [default="explevel"].

.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_mflat.backsub.npoints

    This is the number of columns in interorder space used to sample the  background. (long; default: 82) [default=82].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_mflat.backsub.radiusy

    The height (in pixels) of the background sampling window is (2*radiusy  + 1). This parameter is not corrected for binning. (long; default: 2) [default=2].

    Degree of interpolating splines. Currently only degree = 1 is  supported (long; default: 1) [default=1].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_mflat.backsub.smoothx

    If spline interpolation is used to measure the background, the  x-radius of the post-smoothing window is (smoothx * image_width).  Here, 'image_width' is the image width after binning. If negative, the  default values are used: (25.0/4096) for blue flat-field frames,  (50.0/4096) for red flat-field frames, (300.0/4096) for blue science  frames and (300.0/4096) for red science frames. (float; default: -1.0) [default=-1.0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_mflat.backsub.smoothy

.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_obs_scired.clean_traps

    Clean detector traps. If TRUE detector traps are interpolated.The bad  pixels are replaced by the average of thenearest good pixels in the  same column, or simply marked as bad. The positions of bad pixels are  hard-coded (as function of UVES chip). (bool; default: False) [default=False].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_obs_scired.reduce.slitlength

    Extraction slit length (in pixels). If negative, the value inferred  from the raw frame header is used (float; default: -1.0) [default=-1.0].

This parameter does not  apply to optimal extraction. (float; default: -1.0) [default=-1.0].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_obs_scired.reduce.tiltcorr

    If enabled (recommended), the provided dispersion solutions obtained  at different slit positions are interpolated linearly at the actually  measured position of the object/sky. Line tilt correction is currently  not supported for 2d extraction, in which case the dispersion solution  obtained at the middle of the slit is always used. (bool; default:  True) [default=True].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_obs_scired.reduce.ffmethod

    Flat-fielding method. If set to 'pixel', flat-fielding is done in  pixel-pixel space (before extraction); if set to 'extract', flat-  fielding is performed in pixel-order space (i.e. after extraction).

If 'sum', the flux in the overlapping region is  computed as the sum of the single order spectra. If 'noappend' the  spectrum is simply rebinned but not merged.If flat-fielding is done,  method 'optimal' is recommended, otherwise 'sum'. (str; default:  'optimal') [default="optimal"].
.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_obs_scired.reduce.merge_delt1

    Order merging left hand (short wavelength) cut. To reduce the amount  of order overlapping regions we allow to cut short and long wavelength  ranges.

.. py:attribute:: uves_obs_redchain.param.uves_cal_response.reduce.extract.profile

    In optimal extraction mode, the kind of profile to use. 'gauss' gives  a Gaussian profile, 'moffat' gives a Moffat profile with beta=4 and a  possible linear sky contribution. 'virtual' uses a virtual resampling  algorithm (i.e. measures and uses the actual object profile).  'constant' assumes a constant spatial profile and allows optimal  extraction of wavelength calibration frames. 'auto' will automatically  select the best method based on the estimated S/N of the object. For  low S/N, 'moffat' or 'gauss' are recommended (for robustness). For  high S/N, 'virtual' is recommended (for accuracy). In the case of  virtual resampling, a precise determination of the order positions is  required; therefore the order-definition is repeated using the  (assumed non-low S/N) science frame (str; default: 'auto') [default="auto"].

You may also set or overwrite some or all parameters by the recipe 
parameter `param`, as shown in the following example:

::

   import cpl
   uves_obs_redchain = cpl.Recipe("uves_obs_redchain")
   [...]
   res = uves_obs_redchain( ..., param = {"scired":True, "debug":False})


.. seealso:: `cpl.Recipe <http://packages.python.org/python-cpl/recipe.html>`_
   for more information about the recipe object.
