Description

Collection of Python scripts that perform basic calibration and reduction of the MUSE observational data. Additionally, allows the user to modify the resulting wavelength dimention from air-based to vacuum-based. Includes functions to extract sources from the field and prepare the input to MARZ sowftware (optionally, also run it via command line instead of a web interface), which allows measureing the redshifts.

Most of the codes are based on the official MUSE reduction pipeline manual, that can be found under https://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/instruments/muse/muse-pipeline-manual-2.9.0.pdf or downloaded from ESO webpage.

Requirements

In order to run red_muse, make sure that the following packages are properly installed on your machine:

• AstroPy
• MPDAF (https://mpdaf.readthedocs.io)
• PyMUSE (https://github.com/ismaelpessa/PyMUSE)
• Linetools (https://linetools.readthedocs.io)
• MARZ if you need it and want to use the command line to run it (https://github.com/Samreay/Marz)

Suggestion: install PyMUSE and Linetools via git clone and pip install -e . instead of python setup.py install. There are some modifications to these packages that are required ,and it is easier to access the code from a folder at hand than going into the Mordor of system directories where pip/conda will install them.

Installation

Download package using git

git clone git://github.com/ikhrykin/red_muse

Install package with pip

pip install -e path_to_install -v

The -v option is important for making warnings visible. Simple 'pip install -e .' will install into current directory.
