eSASS task: catprep
erosita/catprep-1.16
Scope:
This document provides a description of the algorithm and instructions for the correct usage of the CATPREP
task, which is part of eSASS (the eROSITA Science Analysis Software System).
Description:
CATPREP is part of the catalog tools of eSASS. The tool will convert the output of ermldet into the catalog file format with one source per row.
NOTE: DETUID is a column generated in the pipeline mode of eSASS and therefore DETUIDs between pipeline-catalog-lists and user-catalog-lists will vary.
Parameters:
- infile (string array) REQUIRED [e.g. "mllist.fits"]
- File IN - ermldet output file
- outfile (string) REQUIRED [e.g. "catsrclist.fits"]
- File OUT - source catalog
- clobber (boolean) OPTIONAL [default: yes]
- if clobbering of the outfile is allowed
- det_algo (string) OPTIONAL [default: ML]
- abbrevation of the detection algorithm. used only in generating the DETUID column
- p_srcdensity (integer) OPTIONAL [default: 10]
- Xth nearest neighbour to derive local srcdensity
- outfile2 (string) OPTIONAL [e.g. "mpe_catsrclist.fits"]
- Name of a seperate outfile to which an owner and flux filter will be applied
- owner (integer) OPTIONAL [0, 1, or 2]
- outfile2: filter source catalog to keep only sources which belong to 1=IKI,2=mpe, 0=nofilter
- flux_threshold (real) OPTIONAL [e.g. 0.0]
- outfile2: flux_threshold (ML_FLUX_0) to be applied to outfile_ownerflag
