Detailed Description

Author:
Peter Weilbacher

Merge pixel tables from all IFUs, apply correction for differential atmospheric refraction, optionally apply flux calibration and telluric correction (if the necessary input data was given), and resample the data from all exposures into a datacube. Use the cube to detect objects which are then matched to their reference positions from which a two-dimensional WCS solution is computed.

The main output is the ASTROMETRY_WCS file which is a bare FITS header containing the world coordinate solution. The secondary product is DATACUBE_ASTROMETRY, it is not needed for further processing but can be used for verification and debugging. It contains the reconstructed cube and two images created from it in further FITS extensions: a white-light image and the special image created from the central planes of the cube used to detect and centroid the stars (as well as its variance).
