calwebb_dark: Dark Processing

Class:

jwst.pipeline.DarkPipeline

Alias:

calwebb_dark

The DarkPipeline applies basic detector-level corrections to all dark exposures. It is identical to the calwebb_detector1 pipeline, except that it stops processing immediately before the dark_current step. The list of steps is shown below. As with the calwebb_detector1 pipeline, the order of steps is a bit different for MIRI exposures.

Arguments

The calwebb_dark pipeline has no optional arguments.

Inputs

4D raw data

Data model:

RampModel

File suffix:

_uncal

The input to DarkPipeline is a single raw dark exposure, which contains the original raw data from all of the detector readouts in the exposure (ncols x nrows x ngroups x nintegrations).

Outputs

4D corrected ramp

Data model:

RampModel

File suffix:

_dark

Result of applying all pipeline steps listed above. Will have the same data dimensions as the input raw 4D data (ncols x nints x ngroups x nints).

Standard Keywords

The following table lists the keywords that are required to be present in all reference files. The first column gives the FITS keyword names. The second column gives the jwst data model name for each keyword, which is useful when using data models in creating and populating a new reference file. The third column gives the equivalent meta tag in ASDF reference file headers, which is the same as the name within the data model meta tree (second column).
