Reference Selection Keywords for REGIONS

CRDS selects appropriate REGIONS references based on the following keywords. REGIONS is not applicable for instruments not in the table. All keywords used for file selection are required.

Instrument Keywords
MIRI INSTRUME, DETECTOR, EXP_TYPE, CHANNEL, BAND, DATE-OBS, TIME-OBS

Reference File Format

The IFU takes a region reference file that defines the pixels on the detector that map to the sky and which IFU slice they correspond to. The reference file is a three-dimensional array measuring 1032 x 1024 x 9. Each of the nine planes within the array represents a two-dimensional detector image for which each pixel has a value indicating the slice to which it belongs. The nine planes each correspond to different throughput thresholds ranging from 10% - 90%; these differ slightly in the effective along-slice size.

channel

The MIRI channels in the observation, e.g. "12".

band

The band for the observation (one of "LONG", "MEDIUM", "SHORT").

regions

An array with the size of the MIRI MRS image where pixel values map to the MRS slice number. 0 indicates a pixel is not within any slice.
