NIRPS ESO demo


Step 1: Download the example data set

An example data of Proxima Cen. observed with NIRPS can be downloaded (PROXIMA_NIRPS_HE_ESO.tar)

This data set was reduced with the standard ESO pipeline developed and maintained at the Geneva Observatory. This pipeline was adapted from the ESPRESSO data reduction software (DRS, detailed user manual available here. A post-processing telluric correction (Allart et al. 2022) is also applied to the extracted 2D spectrum produced by the ESPRESSO DRS.

The example data set contains 15 spectra of Proxima Centauri observed during a NIRPS commissioning run (January 2023). It also includes 5 blaze calibration files produced by the ESPRESSO DRS and generated from daily calibration sequences. 

Finally, an LBL wrapper script (NIRPS_ESO_wrap.py) is provided.


Step 2: Setup a data directory

Extract the PROXIMA_NIRPS_HE_ESO.tar file into your {DATA_DIR} directory

Change the rparams['DATA_DIR'] parameter inside the NIRPS_ESO_wrap.py script to point to your {DATA_DIR} (absolute path)


Step 3: Run the LBL


cd {DATA_DIR}

python NIRPS_ESO_wrap.py


Step 4: Compare results

The produced LBL radial velocities (lbl_PROXIMA_PROXIMA.rdb) will be created in {DATA_DIR}/lblrdb. 

This .rdb file is also available in ./lbl/doc/examples/NIRPS_ESO_demo/lblrdb for comparison and for testing your installation.
