Input Files

1. EPIC sources set with a binary extension table named SRCLIST (required only if withepicset = `yes').

   The following columns need to be present in this table:

   • RA: this value is copied into the RGS column of the same name.
   • DEC: this value is copied into the RGS column of the same name.
   • ML_ID_SRC (if the source list was made by emldetect) or BOX_ID_SRC (if the source list was made by eboxdetect): this number is included in the LABEL value of the source in the RGS list.
   • ID_BAND: this value is used in distinguishing the energy band in calculating RATE (see below).
   • RATE: the sum of these values in the specified energy bands are written in the output RGS list. The energy band (ID) is listed in the above-mentioned ID_BAND column, whereas the energy band IDs are specified in bandids command-line parameter.

2. RGS sources set as described in the `Output files' section (required only if filemode = `modify').

3. The attitude history file created by atthkgen (required only if ((filemode = `modify' and changeattitude = `yes') or filemode = `create') and attstyle = `mean' or `median'.).

4. The filtered attitude history file created by attfilter (required only if ((filemode = `modify' and changeattitude = `yes') or filemode = `create') and attstyle = `expmedian'.).
