qsoabsfind | ||
========== | ||
|
||
Instructions | ||
------------- | ||
|
||
Please read and perform the following steps. | ||
|
||
Running Help Command | ||
-------------------- | ||
|
||
To get an overview of the tool's functionality and options, run: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
qsoabsfind --help | ||
|
||
Input FITS File Structure | ||
------------------------- | ||
|
||
The input `fits file` must have the following HDU extensions: | ||
|
||
- **FLUX**: Should ideally contain the residual spectra (usually the flux/continuum, i.e., the continuum normalized spectra). | ||
- **WAVELENGTH**: Observed wavelength (in Angstroms). | ||
- **ERROR**: Error on residuals. | ||
- **TGTDETALS**: Spectral details (such as Z_QSO, RA_QSO, DEC_QSO). | ||
|
||
Constant File (Optional) | ||
------------------------ | ||
|
||
The user-defined **constant-file** must follow the same structure as the `qsoabsfind.constants` file, otherwise, the code will fail. If you want to use the default search parameters, you can run the tool without the `constant-file` option. | ||
|
||
Running the Tool | ||
---------------- | ||
|
||
Run `qsoabsfind` with the required FITS file. If using a custom constant file, include it in the command: | ||
|
||
:: | ||
|
||
qsoabsfind --input <path_to_input_fits_file> [--constant-file <path_to_constant_file>] --output <path_to_output_fits_file> | ||
|
||
Replace `<path_to_input_fits_file>` with the path to your input FITS file, `<path_to_constant_file>` with the path to your constant file (if using), and `<path_to_output_fits_file>` with the desired path for your output FITS file. | ||
|
||
Output FITS File Structure | ||
-------------------------- | ||
|
||
The **output** `fits file` will have the `ABSORBER` HDU, containing arrays such as: | ||
|
||
- **INDEX_SPEC**: Index of quasar (can be used to read the RA, DEC, and Z of QSOs). | ||
- **Z_ABS**: Redshift of absorber. | ||
- **${METAL}_${line}_EW**: Rest-frame equivalent widths (EWs) of absorber lines (e.g., MgII 2796, 2803 or CIV 1548, 1550) in Angstroms. | ||
- **${METAL}_${line}_EW_ERROR**: Uncertainties in rest-frame EWs of absorber lines in Angstroms. | ||
- **Z_ABS_ERR**: Measured error in the redshift of the absorber. | ||
- **GAUSS_FIT**: Rest-frame fitting parameters of double Gaussian to the absorber doublet (the width can be used to measure the velocity dispersion). | ||
- **GAUSS_FIT_STD**: Uncertainties in rest-frame fitting parameters of double Gaussian to the absorber doublet. | ||
- **SN_${METAL}_${line}**: Signal-to-noise ratio of the lines. | ||
- **${metal}_EW_TOTAL**: Total EW of the lines in Angstroms. | ||
- **${metal}_EW_TOTAL_ERROR**: Uncertainties in total EW of the lines in Angstroms. | ||
|
||
Thanks, | ||
