exoTEDRF Usage Guide

Currently supported instruments/modes: NIRISS/SOSS, NIRSpec/BOTS (coming soon), MIRI/LRS (in development).

The pipeline is divided into four stages, which closely mirror the STScI pipeline:

  • Stage 1: Detector-Level Processing

  • Stage 2: Spectroscopic Processing

  • Stage 3: 1D Spectral Extraction

  • Stage 4: Light Curve Fitting (optional)

Tutorial Notebooks

Below are several tutorials that will walk you through the basics of JWST data analysis using exoTEDRF.

Scripting

Alternatively, exoTEDRF can be run in script form. This is not recommended for a first pass, or deep dive into a particular dataset, but it can be useful for a quick look or to easily test the impact of tweaking aspects of the analysis. Stages 1 to 3 can be run at once via the run_DMS.py script as follows:

  1. Copy the run_DMS.py script and the run_DMS.yaml config file into your working directory.

  2. Fill out the yaml file with the appropriate inputs.

  3. Once happy with the input parameters, enter the follwing in your terminal:

    python run_DMS.py run_DMS.yaml

To use the light curve fitting capabilities (if installed), simply follow the same procedure with the fit_lightcurves.py and .yaml files.
