:orphan: ********************* Astrocut File Formats ********************* FITS Cutout Files ================= FITS files output by image cutout classes consist of a PrimaryHDU extension and one or more ImageHDU extensions, each containing a single cutout. PRIMARY PrimaryHDU (Extension 0) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ========= =================================================== Keyword Value ========= =================================================== SIMPLE T (conforms to FITS standard) BITPIX 8 (array data type) NAXIS 0 (number of array dimensions) EXTEND Number of standard extensions ORIGIN STScI/MAST DATE File creation date PROCVER Software version RA_OBJ Center coordinate right ascension (deg) DEC_OBJ Center coordinate declination (deg) CHECKSUM HDU checksum DATASUM Data unit checksum ========= =================================================== CUTOUT ImageHDU (Subsequent extension(s)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The data in each CUTOUT extension is the cutout image. The header includes all of the keywords from the extension that the cutout image was drawn from, with WCS keywords updated to match the cutout image. Additionally the keyword ``ORIG_FLE`` has been added, it contains the name of the file the cutout comes from. ASDF Cutout Files ================== ASDF files output by `~astrocut.ASDFCutout` are a minimal tree structure that mirrors the format of the original Roman image file. .. code-block:: python asdf_cutout = { "roman": { "meta": { "wcs" - the gwcs of the cutout }, "data" - the cutout data } } ``wcs`` is the original ``gwcs`` object from the input ASDF file that has been sliced into the shape of the cutout. Cube Files ========== See the `TESS Science Data Products Description Document `__ for detailed information on the TESS full-frame image file format. See the `TESS Image CAlibrator Full Frame Images page `__ for information on the format of the TICA HLSP full-frame images. PrimaryHDU (Extension 0) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Primary Header of the TESS Mission, SPOC cube FITS file is the same as that from an individual FFI with the following exceptions: ========= =================================================== Keyword Value ========= =================================================== ORIGIN STScI/MAST DATE Date the cube was created CAMERA From the ImageHDU (EXT 1) of an FFI CCD From the ImageHDU (EXT 1) of an FFI SECTOR The TESS observing Sector, passed by the user DATE-OBS From the ImageHDU (EXT 1) of the Sector's first FFI DATE-END From the ImageHDU (EXT 1) of the Sector's last FFI TSTART From the ImageHDU (EXT 1) of the Sector's first FFI TSTOP From the ImageHDU (EXT 1) of the Sector's last FFI ========= =================================================== The Primary Header of the TICA cube FITS file is the same as that from an individual TICA FFI with the following exceptions: ========= =================================================== Keyword Value ========= =================================================== ORIGIN STScI/MAST DATE Date the cube was created SECTOR The TESS observing Sector, passed by the user STARTTJD From the PrimaryHDU (EXT 0) of the first TICA FFI in the Sector MIDTJD From the PrimaryHDU (EXT 0) of the middle TICA FFI in the Sector ENDTJD From the PrimaryHDU (EXT 0) of the last TICA FFI in the Sector MJD-BEG From the PrimaryHDU (EXT 0) of the first TICA FFI in the Sector MJD-END From the PrimaryHDU (EXT 0) of the last TICA FFI in the Sector ========= =================================================== ImageHDU (Extension 1) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The ImageHDU extension contains the TESS (or TICA) FFI data cube. It is 4 dimensional, with two spatial dimensions, time, data and error flux values. Note, error flux values are only included in the cubes generated from SPOC products. Pixel values are 32 bit floats. The cube dimensions are ordered in the FITS format as follows: ========= =================================================== Keyword Value ========= =================================================== NAXIS 4 (number of array dimensions) NAXIS1 2 (For SPOC products, data value, error value) or 1 (For TICA products, data value only) NAXIS2 Total number of FFIs NAXIS3 Length of first array dimension (NAXIS1 from FFIs) NAXIS4 Length of second array dimension (NAXIS2 from FFIs) ========= =================================================== BinTableHDU (Extension 2) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The BinTableHDU extension, in both the SPOC and TICA cubes, contains a table that holds all of the Image extension header keywords from the individual FFIs. There is one column for each keyword plus one additional column called "FFI_FILE" that contains FFI filename for each row. Each column name keyword also has an entry in the Image extension header, with the value being the keyword value from the FFI header. This last column allows the FFI Image extension headers to be recreated completely if desired. Target Pixel Files ================== The Astrocut target pixel file (TPF) format conforms as closely as possible to the TESS Mission TPFs. See the `TESS Science Data Products Description Document `__ for detailed information on the TESS Mission TPF format, here it is described how Astrocut TPFs differ from Mission pipeline TPFs. PRIMARY PrimaryHDU (Extension 0) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Primary Header of an Astrocut TPF is the same as that from a Mission TPF with the following exceptions: ========= ==================================================== Keyword Value ========= ==================================================== ORIGIN STScI/MAST CREATOR astrocut PROCVER Astrocut version SECTOR Depends on this value having been filled in the cube **Mission pipeline header values Astrocut cannot populate** -------------------------------------------------------------- OBJECT "" TCID 0 PXTABLE 0 PMRA 0.0 PMDEC 0.0 PMTOTAL 0.0 TESSMAG 0.0 TEFF 0.0 LOGG 0.0 MH 0.0 RADIUS 0.0 TICVER 0 TICID None ========= ==================================================== PIXELS BinTableHDU (Extension 1) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Astrocut PIXELS BinTableHDU comprises the same columns as those included in the Mission pipeline TPFs, with one addition: an extra column, ``FFI_FILE``, contains the name of the FFI file that the row's pixels come from. While all of the columns present in Mission pipeline TPFs are present in cutouts created from SPOC cubes, they do not all contain data. The columns that are empty in Astrocut SPOC TPFs are: ============ ==================================================== Column Value ============ ==================================================== CADENCENO 0 filled array in cutout shape RAW_CNTS -1 filled array in cutout shape FLUX_BKG 0 filled array in cutout shape FLUX_BKG_ERR 0 filled array in cutout shape POS_CORR1 0 POS_CORR2 0 ============ ==================================================== The ``TIME`` column is formed by taking the average of the ``TSTART`` and ``TSTOP`` values from the corresponding FFI for each row. The ``QUALITY`` column is taken from the ``DQUALITY`` image keyword in the individual SPOC FFI files. For cutouts created from TICA cubes, the ``TIMECORR`` column has been removed from the PIXELS BinTableHDU. Similar to cutouts made from SPOC cubes, the other columns (aside from the ``TIMECORR`` column) present in Mission pipeline TPFs are present in cutouts created from TICA cubes, but do not all contain data. The columns that are empty in Astrocut TICA TPFs are: ============ ==================================================== Column Value ============ ==================================================== RAW_CNTS -1 filled array in cutout shape FLUX_ERR 0 filled array in cutout shape FLUX_BKG 0 filled array in cutout shape FLUX_BKG_ERR 0 filled array in cutout shape QUALITY 0 POS_CORR1 0 POS_CORR2 0 ============ ==================================================== Three keywords have also been added to the PIXELS extension header to give additional information about the cutout world coordinate system (WCS). TESS FFIs are large and therefore are described by WCS objects that have many non-linear terms. Astrocut creates a new simpler (linear) WCS object from the matched set of cutout pixel coordinates and sky coordinates (from the FFI WCS). This linear WCS object will generally work very well, however at larger cutout sizes (100-200 pixels per side and above) the linear WCS fit will start to be noticeably incorrect at the edges of the cutout. The extra keywords allow the user to determine if the linear WCS is accurate enough for their purpose, and to retrieve the original WCS with distortion coefficients if it is needed. +---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Keyword | Value | +=========+================================================================+ | WCS_FFI | | The name of the FFI file used to build the original WCS | | | | from which the cutout and cutout WCS were calculated. | +---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | WCS_MSEP| | The maximum separation in degrees between the cutout's | | | | linear WCS and the FFI's full WCS. | +---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ | WCS_SIG | | The error in the cutout's linear WCS, calculated as | | | | ``sqrt((dist(Po_ij, Pl_ij)^2)`` where ``dist(Po_ij, Pl_ij)`` | | | | is the angular distance in degrees between the sky position | | | | of of pixel i,j in the original full WCS and the new linear | | | | WCS. | +---------+----------------------------------------------------------------+ APERTURE ImageHDU (Extension 2) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The APERTURE ImageHDU extension is similar to that of Mission pipeline TPFs, but contains slightly different data. For Mission pipeline files, the aperture image gives information about each pixel, whether it was collected and whether it was used in calculating e.g., the background flux. Because Astrocut does not do any of the more complex calculations used in the Mission pipeline, each pixel in the aperture image will either be 1 (pixel was collected and contains data in the cutout) or 0 (pixel is off the edge of the detector and contains no data in the cutout). Cosmic Ray Binary Table Extension ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This extension is not present in Astrocut TPFs, although it is a part of the Mission pipeline TPFs. Path Focused Target Pixel Files =============================== When the `~astrocut.center_on_path` function is used to create cutout TPFs where the individual image cutouts move along a path in time and space, the TPF format has to be adjusted accordingly. It still conforms as closely as possible to the TESS Mission pipeline TPF file format, but differs in several crucial ways. The `~astrocut.center_on_path` function works on Astrocut TPFs, so that is the baseline file format. Only the differences between path focused Astrocut TPFs and regular Astrocut TPFs are described here (see `Target Pixel Files`_ for regular Astrocut TPF format). PRIMARY PrimaryHDU (Extension 0) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Additional or updated keywords: ========= ======================================================= Keyword Value ========= ======================================================= DATE Set the the time the path focused cutout was performed OBJECT Moving target object name/identifier, only present if set by the user ========= ======================================================= Removed keywords: ========= ======================================================= Keyword Reason ========= ======================================================= RA_OBJ Cutout is no longer centered on a sky position DEC_OBJ Cutout is no longer centered on a sky position ========= ======================================================= PIXELS BinTableHDU (Extension 1) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Additional columns: ============ ======================================================== Column Value ============ ======================================================== TGT_X X position of the target in the cutout array at row time TGT_Y Y position of the target in the cutout array at row time TGT_RA Right ascension (deg) of the target at row time TGT_DEC Declination (deg) of the target at row time ============ ======================================================== No world coordinate system (WCS) information is present, since it is no longer common across all cutout images. APERTURE ImageHDU (Extension 2) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The APERTURE extension may or may not be present in a path focussed TPF, to be present the user must have passed an FFI WCS object into the `~astrocut.center_on_path` function. The APERTURE ImageHDU extension of path focussed TPFs is very different from other TESS TPFs. The aperture image, instead of being the size and shape of an individual cutout, is the size of the full FFI image the cutouts were drawn from. All pixels used in any individual cutout are marked with 1, while the rest of the pixels are 0, so the entire trajectory of the cutout path is captured. Additionally the WCS information in the header is the WCS for the original FFI, including all distortion coefficients. This can be used in combination with the TGT_RA/DEC and TGT_X/Y columns to trace the path of the target across the FFI footprint and calculate the WCS object for individual cutout images if necessary.
