Data Reduction Frequently Asked Questions

How can I be sure that my fibres are correctly labeled?

 

The recipe vmifucalib uses the IFU_IDENT calibration file to identify the fibre in the flat field. If no fibre identification file is specified, the fibre spectra identfication is still attempted, but the result is not always correct. Please look at the VIMOS IFU tutorial (http://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/) for further information.
