FITS headers for NOT data
|
Common-user instruments
This page lists the FITS headers for NOT data obtained until March 2004 with
the common-user instruments.
See recent
changes for keywords that were added to NOT FITS headers after
March 2004. FITS keywords with an active link were added in 1999,
others were already present at that time.
The FITS headers are divided in 3 groups, image acquisition system (BIAS) information, telescope control system (TCS) information, instrument
information. The FITS header contains blank lines before the 'END'
keyword and between groups of cards.
The TCS FITS headers are identical for all common-user instruments,
the BIAS headers are very similar. In
addition to these, the FITS header contains one of the
instrument-specific blocks listed below.
The ALFOSC fast-photometry mode uses
non-standard image acquisition software which produces different FITS headers.
Other instruments
- FIES (new instrument)
- SOFIN (restricted-access instrument) headers
have no TCS information.
- TURPOL (restricted-access instrument) data are ASCII files, not FITS.
- HiRAC (retired instrument,
in operation at the NOT from 1996 to 2000)
FIES headers are under development, and as such subject to change at
any moment. HiRAC headers are included for historic interest. The
information on SOFIN headers was taken from the SOFIN reference guide.
