News Version 1.3 now satisfies the new FITS requirements of molecfit version 4.3.1 (as for 30th of April 2024) In the future, it may be necessary to change the AER version through the configuration file. Starting from version 1.1, it is much easier to add new instruments

Basic documentation is available here.

Note on the use of `molecfitv

SLOPpy supports both the old version 1.5.x (available as a stand-alone program) and the latest version >4 through ESO esorex.

To use version 1.5.x, you have to use the molecfit modules marked with v1, and specify the installation path under the molecfit section:

pipeline:
  - ...
  - telluric_molecfit_v1_preparation
  - telluric_molecfit_v1_coadd
  - ...
molecfit:
  installation_path: /Applications/molecfit/bin/
  ...

For the newest version, drop the v1 in the module names and substitute the installation_path keyword with the new `esorex_exec' keyword, as in this example:

pipeline:
  - ...
  - telluric_molecfit_preparation
  - telluric_molecfit_coadd
  - ...
molecfit:
  esorex_exec: esorex
  ...

This new keyword specifies the location of the esorex executable: if the command is available system-wide (i.e., you can launch esorex by simply writing esorex in your terminal), then it is not necessary to specify the full path of the executable.

Changelog

• Version 1.3.0 Default AER version is now "3.8.1.2" are required by molecfit v. 4.3.1 (April 2024)) It is now possible to perform molecfit telluric modeling on individual spectra rather than on coadded spectra Temporary FITS files for telluric correction are now compliant with the new requirements of molecfit 4.3 Deprecated np.int calls have been removed

• Version 1.1.1 to 1.2.2 Minor bugfixes

• Version 1.1.0 Easier interface for new instruments New module to write transmission spectra in the stellar reference system with (optional) CLV and RM correction: write_output_transmission_stellarRF. Note: CLV and RM correction only available through CLV_RM_models module

• Version 1.0.2:

  Minor bugfix

• Version 1.0.1:

  Added support to AER v3.8, bundled with Molecfit as for November 2022
  To use version 3.6, add this keyword in the configuration file under the molecfit section:
  NOTE: it must be a string and not a number\

      aer_version: "3.6"
  

• Version 1.0: first release after acceptance of the paper.
