Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
prefix	no	string	'MERGED_'
File name prefix for the output files.
withcheckinput	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
Whether to check the individual input images for consistency.
maskindividual	no	boolean	false	true$\mid$false
Boolean to choose whether or not the images of individual exposures will be masked, if a corresponding mask for this exposure exists.
withaddimages	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
Whether to add the images of individual exposures.
withcombineimages	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
Whether to combine the individual EPIC instruments.
ecut	no	real	1000.	$0.0 <$ ecut
Exposure cut (in seconds). Areas with less exposure will be masked.
exposureband	no	integer	first band
Energy band of the exposure map, which is used to create the mask.
epn_weight	no	real list	1.0	$0.0 <$ epn_weight
A weight for the exposure of each energy band of EPIC-pn.
em1_weight	no	real list	0.4	$0.0 <$ em1_weight
A weight for the exposure of each energy band of EPIC-MOS1.
em2_weight	no	real list	0.4	$0.0 <$ em2_weight
A weight for the exposure of each energy band of EPIC-MOS2.
withasmooth	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
Whether to create the smoothed and corrected images.
smoothstyle	no	string	adaptive	simple|adaptive
asmooth: The type of smoothing desired.
convolverstyle	no	string	gaussian	gaussian | tophat | squarebox
asmooth: This parameter is read if smoothstyle=`simple' is chosen and prescribes the shape or type of convolver to use to smooth the image.
width	no	real	5.0 pixels	$0.0 \le$ width $\le 100.0$ pixels
asmooth: This parameter is read if smoothstyle=`simple' is chosen. It governs the width of the various types of simple convolver.
withuserwidths	no	boolean	no
asmooth: This parameter is read if smoothstyle=`adaptive' is chosen. If set, the task reads a list of gaussian-convolver sigma values from the userwidths parameter.
userwidths	no	real list		$0.0 \le$ userwidths $\le 100.0$ pixels
asmooth: The list of gaussian-convolver sigma values read when withuserwidths=`yes'. The values must occurr in a monotonically increasing sequence.
minwidth	no	real	0.0 pixels	$0.0 \le$ minwidth $\le 100.0$ pixels
asmooth: If smoothstyle='adaptive' is chosen but withuserwidths=`no' the task constructs a library of gaussian convolvers which have sigma values ranging from minwidth to maxwidth.
maxwidth	no	real	10.0 pixels	$0.0 \le$ maxwidth $\le 100.0$ pixels
asmooth: If smoothstyle='adaptive' is chosen but withuserwidths=`no', the task constructs a library of gaussian convolvers which have sigma values ranging from minwidth to maxwidth.
desiredsnr	no	real	10.0	$0.0 <$ desiredsnr
asmooth: Desired signal-to-noise ratio in an adaptively-smoothed image.
nconvolvers	no	integer	20	$2 \le$ nconvolvers $\le 126$
asmooth: If smoothstyle='adaptive' is chosen but withuserwidths=`no', the task constructs a library of nconvolvers gaussian convolvers.
templatebands	no	integer list	all bands
If smoothstyle='adaptive' is chosen, the parameter defines the energy bands, which are used to estimate the statistics for the smoothing template.
keepinterstage	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
Boolean to choose whether or not intermediate products will be removed.
n_parallel	no	integer	1
Experimental tuning parameter to define the maximum number of parallelly executed processes.
