WINTER corrections

A package for implementing nonlinearity corrections for WINTER.

• Current implementation is with a rational function with 8 parameters.
• Also has the ability to generate/fit polynomial and other rational functions.

TODO: add more to the bad pixel masking.

• Currently it only masks pixels which fail the rational fit or are tied high.
• To add: dead pixel and highly nonlinear pixels to the mask.

Installation

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pre-commit install

Download corrections files

The corrections files are too large for GIT, but these are automatically downloaded from zenodo:

The file winter_corrections/config.py specifices which version and zenodo URL to grab. The current recommended versions are as follows:

• v0.1: original corrections files from June 2024 with six operational sensors.
• v1.1: latest correction files from September 2024 with five operational sensors.

Get Started

You can use winternlc directly from the command line.

winternlc-apply /path/to/data.fits

This will apply the nonlinearity correction to the data and save the corrected data to a new file.

You can also run the correction on multiple files at once.

winternlc-apply /path/to/data1.fits /path/to/data2.fits

Alternatively, you can specify a directory and all the files in the directory will be corrected.

winternlc-apply /path/to/directory

In all cases, you can also specify the output directory.

winternlc-apply /path/to/data.fits --output-dir /path/to/output

If you do not specify an output directory, the corrected files will be saved in the same directory as the input files.
