Inconsistency of flux calibration table.

[chyan26]

I see file named FLUXSTD_CATALOG.fits. However, it is called $SOF_DATA/FLUXCAL_TAB.fits FLUXCAL_TAB in metis_lm_img_calibrate.sof

Those are different data items IIRC. FLUXSTD_CATALOG is the static catalog with standard stars. FLUXCAL_TAB is a table with the flux calibration of a specific exposure. FLUXCAL_TAB is created by comparing the standard star observation against FLUXSTD_CATALOG.

Ok, so $SOF_DATA/FLUXCAL_TAB.fits is missing.

FLUXCAL_TAB.fits is calculated by one of our recipes, so it is not provided by METIS_Simulations.

METIS_Simulation provides two kinds of data:

• simulated raw exposures
• external static calibrations (e.g. FLUXSTD_CATALOG.fits)

Anything created by the pipeline is explicitly not part of METIS_Simulations. So FLUXCAL_TAB.fits is not missing, it should not be there.

(I think currently the persistence correction is the only exception. Because that is kinda an external data product in practice.)

I think we figured out the cause of this confusion, the recipe that should create FLUXCAL_TAB.fits was broken because there was no ATM_PROFILE.fits. I fixed that inhttps://github.com//pull/93 , so FLUXCAL_TAB should be created properly. Can we close this now @chyan26 ?
