PyEmir Documentation

Welcome. This is the Documentation for PyEmir (version 0.22),

EMIR is a wide-field, near-infrared, multi-object spectrograph (MOS) installed at the Nasmyth focus of GTC. Its MOS mode allows observers to obtain tens of intermediate-resolution spectra simultaneously in the nIR bands Y, J, H and K. EMIR is designed to address the science goals of the proposing team and of the Spanish community at large.

Maintainers: Sergio Pascual (sergiopr@fis.ucm.es), and Nicolás Cardiel (cardiel@ucm.es)

Warning

If you are reducing EMIR data obtained with read-out mode RAMP, please, have a look to the instructions provided at Checking the RAMPs.

It is very easy to check the employed read-out mode using the auxiliary script fitsheader (provided in the astropy package). For example:

$ fitsheader *.fits -k readmode -f
