cheese (cheese-0.20.2) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]


Description

Cheese runs source detection on full-field images and creates Swiss cheese masks from the output. cheese produces the event, exposure, and mask images that are required in a user-selected energy band. Running cheese is not required if only the spectral files with all counts including point sources are required, or if excluding point sources is not of interest.
