Table C.1.

FITS header keywords required by CRISPEX

Keyword SN SG SJ Description and use
BITPIX X X X Number of bits per pixel; is converted to IDL datatype and used to initialize variables holding the data slices
NAXISi X X X Numbered variables specifying the size of each dimension
BTYPE X X X Description of data type, e.g., intensity, temperature, pressure, etc.; used for plot labeling and user feedback
BUNIT X X X Data units, e.g., erg cm−2 s−1 sr−1, K, m s−1, etc.; used for plot labeling and user feedback
BSCALE X X Data scaling factor; used in combination with BZERO to descale the data
BZERO X X Data scaling offset; used in combination with BSCALE to descale the data
CDELTi X X X Pixel size of each dimension in terms of CUNITi; used for WCS transformations (pixel-to-WCS and vice versa)
CRPIXi X X X Reference pixel of each dimension; used for WCS transformations
CRVALi X X X Reference pixel value of each dimension in terms of CUNITi; used for WCS transformations
CTYPEi X X X Description of data type of each dimension; used for plot labeling and user feedback (the CTYPEi corresponding to the X-axis is also checked for containing ’TAB’, to determine further processing)
CUNITi X X X Data unit of each dimension (e.g., arcsec, Ångström, seconds, etc.); used for plot labeling and user feedback
PCi_j X X X Elements of the PC-matrix; used in WCS transformations
OBSID X X IRIS observing program ID; provided in user feedback
STARTOBS P X X Date and time of observations start; used to determine the timing in UTC when combined with second (first) auxiliary extension data of a SG (SJI) file.
DATE_OBS X X X Date and time of observations start; used if STARTOBS is not defined
INSTRUME X X P Instrument that produced the data; used to (un)set the non-equidistant spectral warping switch for IRIS SG data (unset if not equal to ’IRIS’)
NWIN X Number of diagnostics compressed in the wavelength dimension
WSTARTi X Starting index of each diagnostic; used in combination with WWIDTHi to determine diagnostic boundaries within the spectral dimension
WWIDTHi X Width in pixels of each diagnostic; used in combination with WSTARTi to determine diagnostic boundaries within the spectral dimension
WDESCi X Label of each diagnostic; used in labeling plots and control panel selection options
TWAVEi X Central wavelength of each diagnostic; used to determine the Doppler velocity
TDESC1 X Label of detector; used for control panel labeling of SJI functions
TELESCOP P X Telescope name; used for control panel labeling of SJI functions
TIME X Time since STARTOBS, keyword indicates the row-index of the extension data array; used to determine the timing in UTC
XCENIX X Time-dependent central FOV X-value in CUNIT1 (row-index); used to determine the SJI CRVAL1
YCENIX X Time-dependent central FOV Y-value in CUNIT2 (row-index); used to determine the SJI CRVAL2
PCi_j IX X Time-dependent PC-matrix elements (row-index); used determine the SJI CRPIX/2, and by extension CRVAL1/2
SLTPX1IX X Time-dependent slit center X-pixel (row-index); used to determine the SJI CRPIX1 and CRVAL1
SLTPX2IX X Time-dependent slit center Y-pixel (row-index); used to determine the SJI CRPIX2 and CRVAL2

Notes. Columns 2–4 indicate whether a particular keyword is required (marked X), present but not required / actively used (marked P), or absent (marked —) for the SOLARNET (SN), IRIS spectrograph (SG), and slit-jaw image (SJ) files, respectively. The keywords above the horizontal line are from the main data extension header; those below the line correspond to the first auxiliary extension header. For tabulated WCS coordinates, the keywords CDELTi, CRPIXi, and CRVALi are defined differently, along with PSi_j and PVi_j, they are used to find the relevant data in binary extensions (see Greisen et al. 2006).
