IVM Sodium Data Reduction
Data for the Sodium D1 589.6 nm spectral line use the same reduction
code as Iron line data (rivm), with the following differences in processing:
- Scattered light and parasitic light fractions are different
- Characteristics (e.g. of the optics) that change with wavelength are taken into account
- QUV normalization (division by I) is skipped
- Telluric line removal is skipped
- Residual bias-removal is skipped
The data themselves differ in the observing set-up, too.
Most will be handled within the reduction process automatically.
