Description¶
- Class:
jwst.ami.AmiAverageStep- Alias:
ami_average
The ami_average step is one of the AMI-specific steps in the ami
sub-package and is part of Stage 3 calwebb_ami3 processing.
It averages the results of LG processing from the
ami_analyze step for multiple exposures of a given target.
It computes a simple average for all 8 components of the “ami” product files from all
input exposures.
For a given association of exposures, the “ami” products created by the ami_analyze
step may have fit_image and resid_image images that vary in size from one
exposure to another. If this is the case, the smallest image size of all the input
products is used for the averaged product and the averaged fit_image and
resid_image images are created by trimming extra rows/columns from the edges of
images that are larger.
Arguments¶
The ami_average step does not have any step-specific arguments.
Inputs¶
LG model parameters¶
- Data model:
- File suffix:
_ami
The only input to the ami_average step is a list of one or more “ami” files to be
processed. These should be output files from the
ami_analyze step. The input to the step must be in the form
of a list of “ami” file names. Passing data models or ASN files is not supported
at this time. Use the calwebb_ami3 pipeline to conveniently
process multiple inputs.
Outputs¶
Average LG model parameters¶
- Data model:
- File suffix:
_amiavg or _psf-amiavg
The ami_average step produces a single output file, having the same format as the input
files, where the data for the 8 file components are the averages from the list of input files.
If the inputs in the ASN file are designated as “science”, the output product type will be
“_amiavg”, whereas if the inputs are designated as “psf”, the output product type will be
“_psf-amiavg.” The output file name syntax is source-based, using the product name specified
in the input ASN file, e.g. “jw87600-a3001_t001_niriss_f480m-nrm_amiavg.fits.”
Reference Files¶
The ami_average step does not use any reference files.
