Ingest AstrometryIngest Astrometry
• Why– Pointing problems– Large pointing offsets– Often small offsets– Unpredictable
• 0.5 – 1 image size• Principally no limit
21-04-23 AstroWise Workshop14 – 18 november 2005
Ingest AstrometryIngest Astrometry
• What– WFI data
• How– Frame based x-y grid
• Map all CCD x-y positions on one x-y grid• A-priori knowledge of CCD chips on frame• No rotation < few degrees• Good knowledge of pixel scale (few percent)
– opipe.astro.instrument.HeaderTranslatorWFI# Astrometric properties of the instrument.# CRPIX values for the chips in [CRPIX1, CRPIX2] format crpix_map = {'ccd50' : [ 4061., -223.], 'ccd51' : [ 1918., -222.], 'ccd52' : [ -226., -223.], 'ccd53' : [-2366., -222.], 'ccd54' : [-2364., 3904.], 'ccd55' : [ -215., 3899.], 'ccd56' : [ 1919., 3901.], 'ccd57' : [ 4061., 3898.]}

– Large offset determination
• (dx, dy) domain• with large errorbars
~100 pixels
– Application of offset– Refinement using
triangulation method • Offset• Rotation• Scale

• Diagnostisc– Log
• Throught the iteration sequence the Rms and max values should decrease to smaller values to end up Rms< 2.5 and max< 10.0. If these values are not reached, definitely something is wrong.

• First column contains X related solution, second column Y related solution. So here the WCS is a rotated one
• Third column gives solution errors

• Diagnostisc– Correlation matrix
• The number of reference stars large for a good solution. 6 Free parameters, -> 12 pairs for statistical accuracy. In general < 50 is not so good.
• The correlation matrix highest values on diagonal and all 0 on the other positions. X related and Y related parameters are correlated, but there should not be any cross dependencies between X and Y.
• Matrix is ordered: (X, Y, X**2, X*Y, Y**2). Offset with the columns direction X related solutions and rows direction Y related solutions.

• Diagnostics– Residuals catalog
• Original astrom call
• Extract to ascii catalog:
• The ascii catalog contains the residuals in Ra,Dec, the Ra and Dec of the extracted object and the X,Y coordinates of the reference and extracted objects (Note only true in case of pipeline astrom, not so for Global Astrom)
