NAME

       visir_util_img_std_cat - Convert ASCII-file(s) to a FITS standard star catalog

SYNOPSIS

       esorex visir_util_img_std_cat [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This  recipe  generates a FITS standard star catalog for imaging from one or more ASCII-files.  Each line
       in the text file must have at least 8 fields separated by white-space.  The first field is the star name,
       e.g.

       ´HD108903´ which will be stored in a table column labeled ´STARS´.  The next 3 fields are the RA  (hh  mm
       ss)  which  will  be stored in degrees in a table column labeled ´RA´ - all three are non-negative and hh
       and mm are integer.  The 3 next fields are the DEC (dd mm ss) which will be stored in degrees in a  table
       column  labeled ´DEC´ - all three are non-negative, dd and mm are integer, while dd has either a ´+´ or a
       ´-´ prepended (in- cluding -00).  The next field is the spectral type which will be  stored  in  a  table
       column labeled ´SP_TYPE´.  Every field after the first 8 are the JY values for the supported filters, and
       may  be  a mixture of image or spectral filters.  All JY values must be positive.  For each filter the JY
       value is stored in a table column labeled with the filter  name  taken  from  the  first  row  of  column
       headings or, if there is no 1st row of column headings, using a list of 44 filter names hard-coded in the
       recipe  (in  which  case  the  number  of  JY  fields  must be exactly 42 or else an error is printed and
       execution ends).

       As mentioned, the 1st row may be a list of column headings.  If this row is supplied, the  1st  4  fields
       will  be  ignored (but dummy values must be supplied anyway), and every field after those will be used as
       the column label in the output table for that column´s JY values.

       Lines beginning with a hash (#) are treated as comments.

       The ASCII-input should be tagged IMG_LINES_ASCII,  but  all  input  files  will  currently  be  processed
       regardless.

OPTIONS

       Note  that  it  is  possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable
       default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command.
