Output Files

From version 1.1 on the output routine tests if the columns RA_CORR and DEC_CORR are already present in the input/output file. Depending on the presence of these columns it will either add them or modify them. After the task has been run the following items will be present:

  1. X-ray source list with two additional columns, being the corrected RA and DEC called RA_CORR and DEC_CORR.
  2. The following keywords are added to the table: RAOFFSET, DEOFFSET, which indicate the offsets in RA and DEC used to correct the psoitions; RAOFFERR, DEOFFERR (the associated statistical errors) and LIK_HOOD (containing the likelihood statistic) and NMATCHES. The keywords ROT_CORR (rotional correction) and ROT_ERR (error in rotation) are also added, but since rotational correction is not yet implemented the associated values will be set to 0 in the current version of eposcorr.
  3. An optional image will be produced containing a map of likelihood values. This image can be used to check the uniqueness of the optimization routine.
