make_background_mask

jwst.extract_1d.soss_extract.soss_syscor.make_background_mask(deepstack, width)[source]

Build mask of pixels containing most of the flux.

These pixels should not be used to compute the background.

Parameters:
deepstackndarray

Deep image of the trace constructed by combining individual integrations of the observation.

widthint

Width, in pixels, of the trace to exclude with the mask (i.e., width/256 for a SUBSTRIP256 observation).

Returns:
bkg_maskndarray

Pixel mask (boolean) in the trace based on the deepstack or non-finite in the image.
