FCAL N1 N2 NF NT GREY RAYLEIGH TEX REBIN FUDGE NFL NFS SET
FCAL applies flux calibration generated by FLUX. NB. FCAL checks that
the spectra to be calibrated do not contain the header item TYPE equal
to 'FLUX' since that indicates that the spectrum is a flux calibration
spectrum.
Parameters:
N1, N2 -- Range of spectra to flux calibrate
NF -- Flux star slot (0 to remove flux cal, -1 to retain current flux star)
NT -- Telluric star slot (0 to remove telluric cal)
GREY -- Grey extinction mags/airmass
RAYLEIGH- Mutiplier to scale Palomar Rayleigh scattering extinction
It is assumed that the flux star has the same values of
GREY and RAYLEIGH unless Real header items GREY and RAYLEIGH
are set which will override the above values. This does not
apply to the spectra to be calibrated which will use the
above values whatever.
TEX -- Exponent for scaling telluric absorption. Because the
telluric lines are saturated, the extinction is not linearly
proportional to airmass. TEX tries to account for this.
Note that it only really works for low-medium resolution data.
REBIN -- Rebinning method to apply telluric cal (Q probably best)
FUDGE -- TRUE = Telluric cal scaled to minimise scatter rather than
simple exponent scaling.
NFL, NFS - Smoothing parameters for the fudging process.
SET -- Define mask showing where telluric lines are for fudging.
The routine sets the values of GREY and RAYLEIGH used in the headers
