Inside SPHIRE, spatial frequencies are handled in absolute units. This means that the spatial frequencies are expressed in term of pixels, or absolute frequency $f_a$, instead of units of inverse distance. The Nyquist frequency, the maximum spatial frequency contained in an image, corresponds to $f_a=0.5$. In inverse distance units, it will correspond to $f_N=\frac{1}{2p}$, | Inside SPHIRE, spatial frequencies are handled in absolute units.
