pandora-fits

Tools to work with fits files from Pandora.

pandora-fits wraps astropy.io.fits.HDUList classes to ensure that files conform to Pandora FITS standards.

The standards are defined using excel files in the src/pandorasat/fileformats/ folder. Changing these files will change the standards that this tool checks against.

Pandora Detectors

Pandora has two detectors, VISDA and NIRDA. You can read more about each of these in pandora-sat.

Pandora File Levels

Pandora will have the following levels of files for each detector

Exceptions

pandora-fits will throw exceptions if files are not in the correct format. This includes

• Files do not have the right number of extensions
• Extensions are not the correct type
• Header keywords have the wrong values when compared with the template

Warnings

pandora-fits will log warnings if files are missing keyword headers, but those headers aren't valued in the excel spreadsheet.
