prepare.ESI: Read an ESI Spectrum as Template
In oczoske/slacR: R-package to measure v and sigma from VIMOS IFU cubes

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also

This function provides a wrapper to prepare.template specifically geared to Keck/ESI spectra from Tommaso Treu.

1 2	prepare.ESI(ident, config.file = NULL, path = NULL, lambda.lim = NULL , ...)

`ident`	character string identifying an ESI spectrum. This is the basename of the corresponding fits file.
`config.file`	name of a configuration file. This can be used to specify a wavelength range to be used with a given target galaxy.
`path`	optional character string to specify non-standard path to the ESI library
`lambda.lim`	two-component vector giving the wavelength range to be read from the template spectrum. If `NULL`, the entire spectrum is read.
`...`	Further parameters to be passed to `prepare.template`.

The ESI spectra are expected to reside in $SLACS_HOME/ESI/. A non-standard path can be given with path.

The identifier is a three-digit HR number, e.g. "HR019" for HR 19. This is also used as the object name.

The atmospheric parameters are looked for in header keywords SPTYPE, TEFF, LOGG and FEH. These were added by OC on 2008-02-26 from SIMBAD information.

An object of class spectrum, resampled to a logarithmic wavelength vector.
