BackgroundStep

class liger_iris_pipeline.BackgroundStep(name=None, parent=None, config_file=None, _validate_kwds=True, **kws)

Bases: JwstStep

BackgroundStep: Subtract background exposures from target exposures.

Create a Step instance.

Parameters:

namestr, optional

The name of the Step instance. Used in logging messages and in cache filenames. If not provided, one will be generated based on the class name.

parentStep instance, optional

The parent step of this step. Used to determine a fully-qualified name for this step, and to determine the mode in which to run this step.

config_filestr or pathlib.Path, optional

The path to the config file that this step was initialized with. Use to determine relative path names of other config files.

**kwsdict

Additional parameters to set. These will be set as member variables on the new Step instance.
