Parameters

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

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
eventfile	yes	dataset
Event file (cleaned, created by espfilt from emchain output).
cornerfile	no	dataset	default
Corners-only eventlist (cleaned, created by espfilt from epchain output).
imagefile	no	dataset	default
Entire FOV image.
expmap	no	dataset	default
Exposure map in DET coords.
spmask	no	dataset	default
Mask for calculating SP scaling.
mask	no	dataset	default
File to mask out point sources (from cheese).
specfile	no	dataset	default
Spectral file for FOV, full band.
rmffile	no	dataset	default
Redistribution matrix file (RMF). Will derive if not entered.
arffile	no	dataset	default
Ancillary Response File (ARF). Will derive if not entered.
keepinterfiles	no	boolean	true	false$\mid$true
Keep intermediary files created?
withregion	no	boolean	true	false$\mid$true
Provide region text file for evselect expression?
regionfile	no	string	reg.txt
A selection expression in a text file. The selection expression for the desired region for the generation of the model background spectrum. If no file with the input name exists, or if the file is empty, then the default is to model the data from the entire field of view. If a specific region is desired, the region expression must be in detector coordinates. For example, a file containing &&((DETX,DETY) IN circle(201,-219,3600)) would extract the central $3'$ of the cluster Abell 1795. Note that the leading “&&” are required as the selection expression is added to other constraints.
pattern	no	int	12
CCD event pattern upper limit. Pattern=0 for single pixel events and pattern=4 for two-pixel events. Pattern=0 is recommended when using the lowest energy bands.
withsrcrem	no	boolean	F	false$\mid$true
Perform source exclusion?
masksky	no	dataset	default
SKY coord mask FITS file name.
maskdet	no	dataset	default
DET coord mask FITS file name.
elow	no	integer	400	$0<=elow<=11999$
Energy low limit (in eV) for the band.
ehigh	no	integer	7200	$1<=ehigh<=12000$
Energy high limit (in eV) for the band.
ccds	no	boolean	TTTTTTT	false$\mid$true
CCDs to be analyzed. Unselected ccds will be masked out.
badpixelresolution	no	16	real	$1<=badpixelresolution<=64$
Bad pixel resolution to pass to backscale (higher values lower mosspectra runtime).
