Midas tables are used to store most the information created and/or used
by the MOS context.
The tables MOS, LINPOS, LINFIT and WINDOWS are created
by the MOS commands; the tables LINECAT and STANDARD are available in the
Midas data base.
A short description of the tables is given below; a detailed description of
their contents can be found in Table .
- MOS.tbl
- is created by LOCATE/MOS and used during the whole
reduction process. It contains the limits of the slitlets.
- LINPOS.tbl
- is created by SEARCH/MOS and updated by
CALIBRATE/MOS. It contains the pixel-positions
of the calibration lines, the row and the slitlet they belong to, their
identifications and their intensities.
- LINFIT.tbl
- is created by CALIBRATE/MOS and used by
REBIN/MOS. It contains the fit coefficients for the dispersion relations
of each row scanned by SEARCH/MOS.
- WINDOWS.tbl
- is created by DEFINE/MOS and used by
FITSKY/MOS and by EXTRACT/MOS. It contains the positions of the
objects and the sky regions.
- LINECAT.tbl
- contains the wavelength calibration lines. There will be
several line-catalogs available in the instrument related system area,
adapted for the use with the FORS grisms.
- STANDARD.tbl
- contains the fluxes of standard stars in different units.
These tables will be copied automatically from the area MID_STANDARD
into the user's work space by SET/MOS FLUXTAB=name.
