Figure 3.8: Examples <strong>of</strong> extraction <strong>of</strong> 1D spectrum <strong>of</strong> a standard star by selection <strong>of</strong> fibers <strong>in</strong> a<br />

one-po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g frame (upper figures) and <strong>in</strong> a mosaic <strong>of</strong> three exposures (lower figures). Note the space<br />

not covered by the fibers <strong>in</strong> the one-po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g frame. The central fiber is the most <strong>in</strong>tense one <strong>in</strong> all<br />

cases. Top left: Selection <strong>of</strong> 7 fibers (one central + six-fibers r<strong>in</strong>g) <strong>in</strong> a one po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g frame. Top right:<br />

Selection <strong>of</strong> 19 fibers (one central + six-fibers <strong>in</strong>ner r<strong>in</strong>g + twelve-fibers outer r<strong>in</strong>g) <strong>in</strong> a one po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g<br />

frame. Bottom left: Selection <strong>of</strong> 37 fibers (one central + six-fibers <strong>in</strong>ner r<strong>in</strong>g + twelve-fibers middle<br />

r<strong>in</strong>g + eighteen-fibers outer r<strong>in</strong>g) <strong>in</strong> a mosaic <strong>of</strong> three exposures. Bottom right: Zoom <strong>of</strong> the bottom<br />

left image <strong>of</strong> the extraction <strong>of</strong> 37 fibers <strong>in</strong> a mosaic <strong>of</strong> three exposures.<br />

the mosaic should be multiplied by this factor. If us<strong>in</strong>g R3D, this is autom<strong>at</strong>ically done if<br />

the factor is provided.<br />

Figure 3.8 shows a practical example (us<strong>in</strong>g E3D) on the extraction <strong>of</strong> the 1D spectrum <strong>of</strong><br />

a standard star by selection <strong>of</strong> fibers <strong>in</strong> a one-po<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g frame (upper figures) and <strong>in</strong> a mosaic<br />

<strong>of</strong> three exposures (lower figures). Instead <strong>of</strong> select<strong>in</strong>g only the most <strong>in</strong>tense fiber, several<br />

fibers can be added where the light <strong>of</strong> the standard star is spread. As seen <strong>in</strong> Figure 3.8,
