New DRAGRACES Release (Again)

February 20, 2019


Since the recent GRACES repair work, the spectra on the detector are now positioned 15 to 16 pixels away towards the blue with respect to where they were before. This imposes a slight change to the DRAGRACES software, so the version 1.3 (that can handle data taken after December 2018) is now available.
 
WARNING: In 2-fiber modes, the wavelength solution seems shifted towards the blue. The source of that issue is still unknown. For immediate extraction, please use the \skip_wavel option. It will provide you with an extracted, uncalibrated spectrum of the target, and an extracted ThAr spectrum. You can then do the wavelength calibration using another tool. Note that we still recommend users always compare their DRAGRACES extraction with the reduced spectra processed with OPERA, available in the Gemini Archive.
