Scope
This document provides a description of the algorithm and instructions for the correct usage of the
CATMERGE task, which is part of
eSASS (the
eROSITA Science Analysis Software System).
Description
CATMERGE is part of the catalog tools of
eSASS. The tool will merge multiple catalogs generated by
CATPREP into a single catalog.
NOTE: SRCTOOL might have issues running with a merged catalog.
Input Parameters
- infile (string array) REQUIRED [e.g. "mllist_1.fits mllist_2.fits" or "@mllist.txt"]
- Input file name or list of input file names. Alternatively provide the name of a separate list of files, which is indicated by an "@".
- outfile (string) REQUIRED [e.g. "catmerge.fits"]
- The output source catalog.
- clobber (boolean) OPTIONAL [default: yes]
- If the output file already exists, then setting clobber = 'yes' will cause the file to be overwritten.
Known Issues:
This task has had very little exercise. If you want to use it, we recommend that you contact the erosita helpdesk first.
