See how well images have been subtracted

Space Telescope Science Institute

Synopsis

See how well images have been subtracted

Command Line Usage

Usage ColorTest.py -h -dir dirname file1..

where:
-h prints out this help and exits
-dir searches the directory dirname and
all subdirectories for continuum subtracted
emission line files, processes these images
file1 ... if -xdir is not specified carries out
the analysis on specific files

Description

The routine access the GAIA database to find stars in the

field. It then carries out forced photometry on emission line image from which the stars were subtracted and on the continuum image that was used for subtraction. It produces a plot that shows the amount of over-subtaction or under-subtraction

Primary Routines

doit

Notes

The routine looks for files with specific names to decide

what images are are those that can be analyzed. If new filters are involved some changes are requried.
