Parameters

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

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
evtfile	yes	string
Input event list from which the images will be created.
ootfile	no	string
Input out-of-time event list (only for EPIC-pn) from which the out-of-time images will be created.
fwcfile	no	string
Input filter-wheel-closed event list from which the filter-wheel-closed images will be created. Needed if withfwcimages is set to “yes” (default)
attfile	no	string
Input attitude file, needed if withexposure is set to “yes” (default) or if withattcalc is set to “yes”.
gtifile	no	string
Input good-time-interval file, if time selection will be done.
withemtaglenoise	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
boolean to choose whether or not noisy EPIC-MOS CCDs will be identified by emtaglenoise and removed from the output images.
withbadpixupdate	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
boolean to choose whether or not the bad-pixel extensions of all input event files will be conformed to each other.
withfwcimages	no	boolean	true	true$\mid$false
boolean to choose whether or not filter-wheel-closed images will be created.
withwindowmode	no	boolean	false	true$\mid$false
This parameter allows to include data of CCDs operated in large/small window mode. Note that in this case no filter-wheel-closed images are created for the CCDs that are in window mode!
pimin	no	integer list	'200 500 1000 2000 4500'	0,20000
Lower energy boundary in PI channels
pimax	no	integer list	'500 1000 2000 4500 12000'	0,20000
Upper energy boundary in PI channels
patmin	no	integer list		0,12
Lower boundary for PATTERN selection
patmax	no	integer list		0,12
Upper boundary for PATTERN selection
flag	no	string
Flag to be used for the selection of the final images according to selectlib
flagout	no	string
Flag to be used for the selection of events in the shielded detector areas according to selectlib
ximagemin	no	real	1
evselect: If set, the lower limit of $x$ coordinate for image extraction.
ximagemax	no	real	640
evselect: If set, the upper limit of $x$ coordinate for image extraction.
yimagemin	no	real	1
evselect: If set, the lower limit of $y$ coordinate for image extraction.
yimagemax	no	real	640
evselect: If set, the upper limit of $y$ coordinate for image extraction.
imagebinning	no	string	“imageSize”	“imageSize”$\mid$“binSize”
evselect: Parameter to choose to use either bin size or total image size to determine the binning factor for image extraction. If set to “binSize”, values are taken from ximagebinsize and yimagebinsize. If set to “imageSize”, values are taken from ximagesize and yimagesize.
ximagebinsize	no	real	1	$>0$
evselect: If set, the binning factor for $x$ axis in image creation
yimagebinsize	no	real	1	$>0$
evselect: If set, the binning factor for $y$ axis in image creation
ximagesize	no	integer	600	$>0$
evselect: If set, the size of the image (i.e. number of image pixels) along the $x$ axis; for extraction using integer valued columns, the extracted image size may be somewhat smaller than the requested image size.
yimagesize	no	integer	600	$>0$
evselect: If set, the size of the image (i.e. number of image pixels) along the $y$ axis; for extraction using integer valued columns, the extracted image size may be somewhat smaller than the requested image size.
withxranges	no	boolean	false	true$\mid$false
evselect: boolean to choose whether or not to use the ximagemin and ximagemax values for the $x$ coordinate ranges for image extraction - if true, the parameter ranges are used; if false, the ranges are determined from the data
withyranges	no	boolean	false	true$\mid$false
evselect: boolean to choose whether or not to use the yimagemin and yimagemax values for the $y$ coordinate ranges for image extraction - if true, the parameter ranges are used; if false, the ranges are determined from the data
squarepixels	no	boolean	false	true$\mid$false
evselect: When ximagesize and yimagesize are set, forces the $x$ and $y$ bin sizes to be the same. The larger of the two bin sizes is used.
raimagecenter	no	real
evselect: If set, right ascension for the center of the output image, in decimal degrees.
decimagecenter	no	real
evselect: If set, declination for the center of the output image, in decimal degrees.
withcelestialcenter	no	boolean	false	true$\mid$false
evselect: Boolean to determine if the image is shifted so that it is centered on the sky position specified by raimagecenter and decimagecenter.
withattcalc	no	boolean	no
boolean to choose whether or not to new image coordinates will be calculated according to nominalra, nominaldec, and imagesize
nominalra	no	real	0.0	0$-$360
attcalc: Celestial RA coordinate of central reference point (If withattcalc = yes)
