Change Logs¶
3.0.4¶
Bug Fixes¶
geminidr.gmos
- Allow
maskFaultyAmp
to work on astrodata objects with no mask. - Fix
maskFaultyAmp
to work on central stamp ROI.
geminidr.core
- Adjust minimal dither separation for fringe frame creation.
astrodata
- Fix AstroData
info()
method to handle extensions with no pixels. Required for upcoming GHOST data.
Improvements¶
geminidr.gmos
- Update to the GMOS-S Hamamatsu 4x4 imaging illumination mask.
geminidr.core
- Improve behavior of
addIllumMaskToDQ
to cope with larger shifts due to recent GMOS misalignment. - Add provenance for the flux calibration step.
gemini_instruments.f2
- Switched to using WAVELENG for central_wavelength for F2 to be better aligned with the instrument and observatory software.
gempy
- In
dataselect
, make the disperser selection default to the “pretty” mode rather than requiring the full component ID.
Quality Assessment Pipeline¶
- Increase robustness of measureIQ for 2D spectra.
- Interface improvements to the QAP Specviewer.
- Fix missing
maskFaultyAmp
in some QAP recipes. - Limit the number of aperture/spectra selected in GMOS LS QA recipes for performance reasons.
3.0.2 and 3.0.3¶
Note that 3.0.2 was found to have one broken recipe, 3.0.3 fixes it.
Bug Fixes¶
geminidr.core
- Continue without crashing when
traceApertures
cannot identify a starting location for a trace. - Fix issues with assignment of on-source/sky frames when the user specifies specific frames.
- Fix bug where
stackFrames
crashed if using thestatsec
parameter when scaling or zero-offsetting. - In fringeCorrect,
do_cal=force
has been reactivated. - Better handling of infinites and NaN in the flat normalization.
geminidr.gmos
- Added new primitive to the recipes to mask amplifier 5 in GMOS-S data obtained since January 28, 2022. GMOS-S amplifier 5 suffered a major failure and it is not usable.
- Ensure that the masks are used when calculating the statistics in scaleByIntensity.
geminidr.gnirs
- Added missing support for YPHOT filter.
geminidr.f2*
- Support of the Flamingos 2 filters.
New Features¶
** geminidr **
- Add
wave_units
anddata_units
parameters towrite1DSpectra
to configure the output - Under-the-hood modification to distinguish data reduced in quicklook mode versus science mode.
Interface Modifications¶
- Internal Gemini catalog server URL updated.
Documentation¶
- Various fixes to the documentation affecting formatting, not the content.
3.0.1¶
Bug Fixes¶
geminidr.core
- Fix bug where
section
start/end comparison was made on string, not numeric, values.
gempy.library.transform
- Fix bug that caused longslit spectra to have incorrect WCS, offset from true slit location.
Interface Modifications¶
geminidr.core
- Expose
min_snr
parameter infindApertures
, makeuse_snr=False
the default, and estimate noise from pixel-to-pixel variations, regardless of its value.
Documentation¶
- Various fixes to the documentation.
3.0.0¶
This release includes new support for GMOS longslit data. Reduction of GMOS longslit data is offered only quicklook mode. It does not produce science quality outputs, yet.
Bug Fixes¶
geminidr
- In imaging mode, the science recipes now include a call to
scaleByExposureTime
before the stacking step. It is now possible to stack frames with different exposure times.
gemini_instruments.gemini
- Fix the GCALLAMP tag for NIR data to include the QH lamp.
geminidr.core
- Remove incorrect logging in separateSky when object and/or sky files are specified.
- Improve algorithm for separating on-source and on-sky frames.
- Avoid upsampling OBJMASK from uint8 to uint16
- In near-IR imaging mode, frames that fail to be sky subtracted are removed from the main reduction stream to avoid contamination. The reduction continues with the “good” frames. If all frames fail the sky subtraction, then all frames will be passed to the next step of the reduction.
geminidr.gemini
- Fix to the calculation of the CC-band used in nighttime sky quality assessment.
- Fix to the calculation of the BG-band used in nighttime sky quality assessment.
gempy.gemini
- Ensure NIRI skyflats satisfy calibration association requirements
gempy.numdisplay
- Fix a Python 3 compatibility issue.
New Features¶
geminidr
- Quicklook (
--ql
mode) reduction support for GMOS longslit data.
geminidr.core
- Add
remove_first
parameter to removeFirstFrame primitive. - Add
match_radius
parameter to adjustWCSToReference primitive. - Add an IRAF compatibility primitive and recipe for Flamingos 2.
astrodata and recipe_system
- Provenance history stored with the data in tables named: PROVENANCE and PROVHISTORY.
Interface Modifications¶
geminidr.core
biasCorrect
,darkCorrect
,flatCorrect
. Thedo_bias
,do_dark
, anddo_flat
input parameters have been replaced withdo_cal
with more options than True or False. Useshowpars
to inspect the options.
Compatibility¶
- Python 2 support has been dropped. Starting with v3.0.0, DRAGONS requires Python 3. All tests were run on Python 3.7, and this version of Python now serves as the minimal required version.
- Improved the F2 processed products backward compatibility with Gemini IRAF.
Documentation¶
- Fix various links in the documentation.
- Add examples and cross-reference to disco-stu usage documentation.
- New tutorial for the quicklook reduction of GMOS longslit data.
2.1.1¶
Bug Fixes¶
geminidr.core
- Fix a crash when a section was used when stacking.
gempy scripts
- Add missing third party adpkg and drpkg support to utility scripts dataselect, showpars, typewalk, and showrecipes.
gempy.library
- Fix to Jacobian calculation for non-affine transforms
recipe_system.adcc
- Make adcc more robust to missing connection to fitsstore.
Compatibility¶
gempy.gemini
- Add compatibility with sigma_clip for astropy v3.1+
- Add IRAF compatibility keywords on GMOS mosaiced data.
- Add compatibility with astroquery 0.4.
geminidr.core
- Add compatibility with sigma_clip fro astropy v3.1+
geminidr.gmos
- Add IRAF compatibility recipe.
Documentation¶
- Various fixes to documentation and instruction manual following feedback from users.
