    Holography FITS Header

     

    This describes the typical FITS header information that the program "regress_plane_calc.c" and "regress_plane_calc_eikonal.c" requires.

     

    BITPIX = 16 requires that the pixel values be integers
    NAXIS = 4 the input must be in this form with real and imaginary components held in the fourth dimension
    BSCALE is the scaling of the pixel values
    DAXIS1 is the spatial scaling of the pixels in the x-direction in units of Solar radii
    DAXIS2 is the spatial scaling of the pixels in the y-direction in units of Solar radii
    DAXIS3 is the scaling of the pixels in the nu-direction in units of Hertz
    DAXIS4 is the scaling of the pixels in the fourth-dimension
    OBS_L0 is the longitude that SOHO-MDI is observing at the time of the midpoint observation of the datacube
    OBS_B0 is the latitude that SOHO-MDI is observing at the time of the midpoint observation of the datacube
    REF_L0 is the central longitude of the datacube
    REF_B0 is the central latitude of the datacube
    X0 is where the REF_L0 and REF_B0 are located in the x-direction in pixels.
    Y0 is where the REF_L0 and REF_B0 are located in the y-direction in pixels.
    TIME0 is the time of the beginning of the observation
    DTIME is the total duration of the observation in seconds
    Z1 is the frequency of the first frame in Hertz
