contpars: Set parameters for continuum removal

Package: rvsao

Usage

contpars

Parameters

c_interactive no
Fit continuum interactively (yes or no). If yes, a graph of the spectrum and the continuum fit is plotted to stdgraph, with rejected points flagged. "q" accepts the fit and continues the main task, "?" prints options, "d" deletes points, "u" undeletes points, "f" refits and redraws the data.
c_sample "*"
Sample of points to use in fit. "*" = all.
c_function spline3
Continuum fitting function (spline3 or legendre or chebyshev or spline1)
order 1
Order of fitting function. This is the IRAF order, i.e. the number of coefficients, not what you might expect. If order=0, no continuum is fit or removed.
s_low_reject 2.
Spectrum continuum fit minimum acceptance limit in sigma of fit
s_high_reject 2.
Spectrum continuum fit maximum acceptance limit in sigma of fit
t_low_reject 2.
Template continuum fit minimum acceptance limit in sigma of fit
t_high_reject 2.
Template continuum fit maximum acceptance limit in sigma of fit
niterate 10
Number of rejection iterations
grow 1.
Rejection growing radius

Description

contpars sets the parameters to be used to fit the continuum of spectra on which XCSAO or EMSAO are being run.
