HIRES extraction routines

These routines extract velocity-calibrated 2D spectra of each emission line.

We start with:

  1. 2D Keck HIRES slit spectral images (FITS files).
  2. The location on the chip of the spectrograph orders (provided as a DS9 region file).
  3. A wavelength calibration for the entire image (FITS image of wavelength of each pixel).
  4. A list of the emission lines of interest with their rest wavelengths

Extracting and pixel-rectifying the orders

Design notes

Finding the orders to extract

  • We have our boxes, and then we have the calibrated pixel regions.
  • The problem with the boxes is that they overlap
    • Possible solution: thin them down so they are just the central part of the slit in each order
    • This did work just about
