Progress and problems of 2d pipeline

Fiber profile

• Fit fiber profile by flat exposure

• Use this profile within other exposures

• That is:

Flux extraction

• Profile fitting– Good at working against bad pixels, crosstalk,

etc.– Bad at extracting emission lines

• The function varies at center and edge of profile

• Aperture– Fast extracting– For LAMOST, adjacent fibers are far enough

from each other

Flat extraction

Object extraction

Wavelength calibration

• First, calibrate with arc lamp lines

• Then corrected by sky emission lines

• Problem:– Low S/N at 3600Å– Weak arc lamp lines after 7500Å– Image shifts from arc exposure to object

exposure, so the error could increase to 0.2Å from 0.1Å

Stability of spectrograph

Fiber flat

• Fitting a ‘super-flat’ by all fibers

• Divide ‘super-flat’ to get fiber flat

• Problem:– Flat is not flat enough to correct fiber

throughput– Need to improve field flat

Lamp flat vs. night sky

Night sky vs. twilight flat

Sky subtraction

• n sky fibers, fitting a ‘super-sky’

• Need:– Good extraction– Accurate wavelength calibration– Good flat– Good sky emission line profiles

Flux calibration

• By SDSS standard stars

• Correct observed flux by template

• Telluric correction

• Problem:– Some standard stars get no information– Low S/N

Spectrum combination

• Different exposures

• Blue and red part

• Problem:– Too low S/N at the beginning and end of each

spectrum
