A structured format for analysing high contrast imaging IFU data with a variety of algorithms. The goal is to generate consistent outputs for different algorithms (PCA, KLIP and ANDROMEDA), producing for each a spectrum with an associated covariance matrix.
All algorithms require the same parameters to run, in order:
data_dir : The path to the directory where the science, psf, parallactic angle and wavelength data is stored.
instrument : the name of the instrument. Must include the instrument name (SPHERE,GPI), but should include the band (Y,J,H,K) etc.
planet_name : The name of the planet, eg HR8799e
posn : an initial guess for the separation [mas], parallactic angle [deg] and flux [contrast].
