binimagemerge (binadaptmerge-0.12.1) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]


Input Files

The count, exposure, QPB, and SP image products from running mosaicmerge, following the particular nomenclature used in the esas package, eg.: mosaic-fovim-350-800.fits for a mosaicked image with the first band in that spectral range. Binadaptmerge will create filenames based on parameters input, elow, and ehigh

Valid input filenames derived are, in the case of a prefix being entered, e.g.:

binadaptmerge withspbkg=T withpartbkg=T withswcx=T withmask=T
maskfile=mymaskimage.fits elow=400 ehigh=2000

All are produced by mosaicmerge:

mosaic-fovim-400-2000.fits
mosaic-expim-400-2000.fits
mosaic-bkgim-400-2000.fits
mosaic-swcxim-400-2000.fits
mosaic-protim-400-2000.fits
mosaic-maskim-400-2000.fits

If entering more then one energy band, the output file will have the form: mosaic-fovim-elow(1)-ehigh(N).fits

where N is the number of bands entered.
