      Description

      One of the requests from the PFSA01894911_20200619 comments was to add Subaru-specific spectroscopy cards:

      - Spectroscopy keywords
        All spec. keywords are missing in the present header
        While most of them are for slit spectroscopy and may be omitted for PFS,
        (->needs to update Subaru rule. what other spec instruments do?)
        necessary information such as wavelength range and orientation of dispersion
        should be covered by some basic or instrument-dependent keywords
      
        WAVELEN
        WAV-MAX
        WAV-MIN
        SLIT
        SLTCPIX1
        SLTCPIX2
        SLT-LEN
        SLT-PA
        SLT-WID
        DISPAXIS
        DISPERSR
       

       

      DISPAXIS is easy and I'll do it right away: 1 for CCDs, 2 for NIR. Note that after DRP IRP the NIR exposures will probably be rotated to have dispersion along columns, to match the CCDs. So the DISPAXIS card would only be valid for raw data.

      I take it we can ignore all the SLit cards. For now, at least.

      For DISPRSR and the three WAV cards can we use names and values from the first measurement paper, which also show up in Yabe-san's curated tables in spt_exposureTimeCalculator? Those are for the full bandpass (not between the 50% levels of the dichroics, etc.), and will not be good to better than several nm:

       

      Arm Wavelength range Central Wavelength Fringe frequency
      Blue 380-650 nm 519 nm 711 mm^-1
      Red 630-970 nm 805 nm 557 mm^-1
      NIR 940-1260 nm 1107 nm 570 mm^-1
      Med 710-885 nm 799 nm 1007 mm^-1

      In particular, for the WAVELEN card can we just use the central wavelength of the bandpass, or will we need to figure out which wavelength falls on the central row/column? The NAOJ examples have values down to 0.001 nm, which worries me 

      We need some convention for DISPRSR. A proposal, based on the NAOJ example would be "VPH_$fringesPerMm_$centralWave"? Add "low" vs "high" for red? I.e "VPH_711_519nm" or "VPH_low_557_805nm"? The red medium assembly is slightly different (adds prisms) but does it matter?
