NUMINA tools

This webpage describes how to execute specific scripts provided by the Python package numina. Among other features, this package offers the interface for executing data reduction pipelines for various instruments of the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), in particular EMIR, MEGARA and FRIDA. Additionally, numina includes code for performing common operations involved in astronomical image reduction workflows, allowing such functionality to be reused across pipelines for different instruments.

This webpage does not describe how to use the data reduction pipelines for the various GTC instruments. That information is provided in dedicated documentation pages for each instrument: pyemir, megaradrp, and fridadrp (still under developement). The utilities described here correspond only to particular manipulations of astronomical images which, once implemented as part of a data reduction pipeline for a particular instrument, have proven useful for processing images obtained with other instruments. In this sense, they are limited in scope, and it is not the aim of numina to provide a general-purpose astronomical image reduction package.

• Removing CR in multiple exposures

Warning

This webpage contains a preliminary draft of the documentation for the aforementioned scripts. As such, some details may vary slightly depending on the version of numina being used.
