Name strehl - Strehl ratio computation Synopsis strehl [options] <cubes...> Description strehl computes the Strehl ratio for every plane in every cube given on command line. See ALGORITHM to know how it is computed. strehl needs to know some parameters about the mirror and observation wavelength to generate the ideal PSF. Defaults for these parameters are taken for Adonis, use the options to feed other values. strehl accepts jokers on command line : > strehl *.fits ATTENTION! The input image must be square (same size in x and y), and this size shall be a power of 2! This to allow a correct PSF generation. Algorithm For each image in each cube (candidate image), the follow- ing algorithm is applied: 1. Generate a PSF for a given telescope configuration and observation wavelength. 2. Normalize the PSF and candidate image to unity flux. 3. Do Strehl = MAX(candidate) / MAX(PSF) Where MAX is the maximum pixel in the image. Attention: the theoretical PSF is generated only once per call! When giving several cubes on command-line, it is up to the user to check that the same parameters are valid for all files (check the wavelength). Options -g An ideal PSF is generated for Strehl ratio computa- tion. Using this option, a FITS file named `strehl1.fits' is generated in the current direc- tory, containing the generated ideal PSF (of Strehl ratio equal to 1). Use it to cross-check that the generated PSF fits your computation. -p PrimaryDiameter Primary mirror diameter in meters. Defaults to 3.47. This value is actually 3.60 meters, corrected to take into account the central obscuration ratio. -d SecondaryDiameter Secondary mirror diameter in meters. Defaults to 1.66. This value is actually 1.57 meters, corrected to take into account the central obscuration ratio. -l `lambda0 dlambda' Do not forget the simple quotes around the 2 val- ues. First value is the central wavelength of observation. Second value is the filter width. Val- ues are given in microns (1e-6 m). Defaults to 2.2 and 0.3. -s pixelscale Pixel Scale in arc seconds. Defaults to 0.05. Example To compute the strehl ratio over 10 cubes named S001.fits to S010.fits, on an 8 meter telescope with a 1.5 meter secondary mirror, a central wavelength of 5.0 um and fil- ter width of 0.1 um, a pixel scale of 0.05, use: strehl -p 8 -d 1.5 -l `5 0.1' -s 0.05 S*.fits Files Files shall all comply with FITS format See Also stcube
