This package is a wrapper around the compiled C executables used by the <code>CALACS</code> pipeline. It provides users with an easy-to-use python interface, as well as, access to other utility functions developed by the ACS Team (e.g. the CTE forward modeler). The interface simplifies the process of building up calibration workflows, making it much easier for users to reprocess their data if they so choose. For more information on <code>ACSTOOLS</code>, please see the <a href="https://acstools.readthedocs.io/en/stable/">website</a>.</p> <h4 data-index="0" id="h4-CK-1ca0f6bd-88f0-4bf5-8872-fbd2d070674f" data-name="h4-example-usage">Example Usage</h4> <p>Suppose you wanted to reprocess CR-SPLIT observations while experimenting with the parameters in <code>CRREJTAB</code>. Accomplishing this using the executables is a drawn out process that involves iteratively modifying the parameters stored in the <code>CRREJTAB</code> reference file. A simpler way to do this is by leveraging the python interface provided with <code>ACSTOOLS</code>. In the section above on <code>CALACS</code>, we see that only two tasks are executed before <strong>acsrej</strong>. We write a simple python script to process our observations through <strong>acsccd</strong> and <strong>acscte </strong>to generate intermediate data products with this minimum level of required calibration completed.<strong> </strong></p> <pre> <code class="language-python">from acstools import acsccd, acscte # Run the acsccd task (*raw.fits -> *blv_tmp.fits) acsccd.acsccd('*raw.fits', time_stamps=True, verbose=True) # Run CTE correction (*blv_tmp.fits -> *blc_tmp.fits) acscte.acscte('*blv_tmp.fits')</code></pre> <p>Now that we have reached the level of calibration expected before entering the <strong>acsrej </strong>task, we can experiment with the parameters of <code>CRREJTAB</code> much more easily. The values stored in the <code>CRREJTAB</code> reference file (see Section 2 in <a href="/files/live/sites/www/files/home/hst/instrumentation/acs/documentation/instrument-science-reports-isrs/_documents/isr1805.pdf" title="ACS ISR 2018-05">ACS ISR 2018-05</a>) can be accessed through keyword arguments in the <code>ACSTOOLS</code> implementation. Instead of updating the reference file, change the values passed in the function call:</p> <pre> <code class="language-python">from acstools import acsrej acsrej.acsrej('*blc_tmp.fits', output='combined_product.fits', # output filename crsigmas='6,5,4', # specify the rejection threshold crradius=0.75, # specify the propagation radius initgues='med') # specify the method for computing the initial guess</code></pre> <p> </p> <script>hljs.initHighlightingOnLoad();</script> </div></section><div class="container-fluid timestamp"> Last Updated: 03/13/2025</div><section class="credits
