Description

Functionality/Performance Improvements and Additions
  • Allow user control of the local sky subtraction window
  • Implemented a resample algorithm when generating datacubes
  • Sensitivity function masking and output updates
  • Improve speed in ginga visualization of traces and added pypeit_chk_tilts. Note that this script uses an update of the tilts datamodel, so it will not work on older reductions.
  • Fixed a bug in the variance_model calculation for combined images.
Datamodel Changes
  • Removed use of the term "master", renamed to calibration frames/files. Default output directory for calibration frames is now Calibrations. Calibration frames renamed from, e.g., MasterArc* to Arc*.
  • Names of associated calibration frames now written to spec2d file headers.
Dependency Changes
  • Deprecate support for python 3.8 with PypeIt, allow python 3.11
  • Make pypeit_show_2dspec (somewhat) backwards compatible.
  • Added the option to disable strict version checking for 1d coadds.
  • Start to deprecate use of os.path in favor of pathlib
Script Changes
  • In PypeIt files, the 'calib' column is now always added to the pypeit file, regardless of whether or not you also request the 'comb_id' and 'bkg_id' columns.
  • In PypeIt files, the calibration group numbers can now be anything, as long as there are no more than 63 unique integers.
  • Deprecated pypeit_parse_calib_id script, but improved the .calib file provided by pypeit_setup. The .calib file is now always written, and provides a direct association between input raw files and output calibration files. Discussed in new docs.
  • Added coadd2d setup script
  • Added the possibility to use dither offsets saved in the header of the science frames for coadding 2D spectra (dithoff must be part of the spectrograph metadata).
  • Major quicklook updates; see documentation. ql_multislit.py deprecated.
Instrument-specific Updates
  • Updates to reduction parameters for LDT/DeVeny
Hotfixes
  • Hotfix to docs to ensure pypeit_loaders api doc is generated
  • Hotfix for KCWI when using alignment (aka ContBars) frames for the astrometric correction.
