binadaptmerge produces binned count rate and count-rate uncertainty images for merged observations using the output of the task mosaicmerge. For each unmasked and binned pixel, the program will determine the average count rate and the count rate uncertainty. The assumption is that the uncertainty is dominated by the counting statistics and the the systematics of the background modeling.
Warning and requirements: binadaptmerge was part of the singular esas package integrated into the SAS, but was made a standalone task for SAS-21. It is limited to work within the esas data reduction scheme. This is specially true wrt input files structure and names. In particular, binadaptmerge assumes that individual observations have been processed and subsequently mosaicked by the task mosaicmerge.
