DIVIDE

Divide a polarization spectrum by an intensity spectrum

Function

Divide a polarization spectrum by an intensity spectrum

Description

Divide a polarization spectrum by the intensity spectrum from another dataset. This can be used to divide data by a smooth spectrum star to remove atmospheric features.

The intensity and Stokes parameters of the first spectrum are divided by the intensity of the second spectrum. The variances are also scaled accordingly. The spectrum being divided by is assumed to have no errors.

Parameters
1 INPUT1 TSP, 1D

The input spectrum to be divided.

2 INPUT2 TSP, 1D

The spectrum to divide by.

3 OUTPUT TSP, 1D

The Output dataset.
