Parameters

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

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
detmasksets	yes	(list of) file name(s)	detmask.fits
Names of detection masks
expimagesets	yes	(list of) file name(s)	expimage.fits
Names of exposure images
bkgimagesets	yes	(list of) file name(s)	bkgimage.fits
Names of background maps
sensimageset	yes	(list of) file name(s)	sensimage.fits
Name of sensitivity image(s). One for outunit=rate or flux, two for outunit=both
outunit	no	string	rate	rate | flux | both
Produce sensitivity maps in rate units (cts s$^{-1}$) and/or flux units (erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$)
ecf	no	list of floats	1.0	0.00001$<$ecf$<$1 000.0
Normalised energy conversion factors in units of $10^{11}$ cts cm$^2$ erg$^{-1}$ to be used for sensitivity maps in flux units. If combining several files, the factors need to include the per-band to total flux ratios.
mlmin	no	float	10.0	[1.0$<$param$<$20.0]
Detection likelihood for which the upper limit of the source counts is calculated. Corresponds to the parameters likemin of eboxdetect and mlmin of emldetect
statistic	no	string	poisson	poisson | deltac
Switch between eboxdetect-like Poissonian statistic (faster) and emldetect-like DeltaC-statistic and PSF reading (slower)
energies	no	list of floats	1000	1$<$param$<$30 000
DeltaC statistic: Mid-band energies to read the PSF, one per input image
doff	no	float	12	1$<$doff$<$1 200
DeltaC statistic: Step size of the PSF off-axis angles in arcsec
ecut	no	float	15	5$<$ecut$<$55
DeltaC statistic: Half side length of the area in which the PSF is evaluated (image pixels)
