Description

Significant changes

  • Code to allow for mosaicing multiple detectors into a single reduction. This is now the default for Gemini GMOS and improves stability of wavelength calibration.
  • Introduces pypeit_parse_calib_id script
  • Refactored manual extraction
  • Update for LDT/DeVeny including support for binned data, use_header for reading arc lamps used from frames, and reid_arxiv templates for three additional gratings.
  • Slurps in and uses slitmask design for Keck/LRIS (limited usage)
  • Significant improvements in 2D coadding.
  • Scripts to explore the noise residuals in PypeIt
Datamodel changes and algorithmic improvements
  • Improved performance of L.A. Cosmic implementation
  • Now uses stars in alignment boxes for default calculation of slitmask offsets in DEIMOS reductions.
  • 2D wavelength calibration image now added to MasterFlat output
  • Improved treatment of saturation.
  • Dark counts used for calculating the shot noise now includes measured dark images if provided.
  • Include sky model in 2nd pass of global sky subtraction (not for IR redux).
  • Skymask is now computed also for the maskdef_extract objects.
  • Added dedicated fwhm and boxcar_radius for maskdef_extract objects.
  • Added pypeit_version to the pypeit file header.
  • Set DEIMOS find_fwhm default to 0.8" in binned pixels.
  • Added row-dependent pattern-noise calculation for KCWI
Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug about how maskdef_offset is assigned to each detector
  • Fixed 2Dcoadd spec bugs for central wavelength dithers.
