Reference FilesΒΆ

The HST reference files in config/hst may occasionally need to be remade with updated values from the instrument teams. A convenience generator for the reference files is provided in astrogrism.HST.create_HST_reffiles.py, which creates the specws and wavelengthrange reference files based on a GRISMCONF configuration file. The distortion generator is currently in progress. To generate the files, provide the path to the GRISMCONF configuration file and the name of the grism as arguments to the create_reference_files function:

from astrogrism.config.HST import create_reference_files
create_reference_files("G102.conf", 'G102')
