Parameters

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

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
mos1file	no	string
Cleaned (filtered) EMOS1 event list.
mos2file	no	string
Cleaned (filtered) EMOS2 event list.
pnfile	no	string
Cleaned (filtered) EPN event list.
pnootfile	no	string
Cleaned EPN Out Of Time event list (for edetect_chain).
scale	no	real	0.5	$0<=scale$
Energy fraction, which sets the exclusion radius of point sources.
ratetotal	no	real	1.0	$0<=ratetotal<=1000$
Flux threshold full band (in units of $1.0E-14 cgs$ for the exclusion of point sources.
ratesoft	no	real	1.0	$0<=ratesoft<=1000$
Flux threshold soft band (in units of $1.0E-14 cgs$ for the exclusion of point sources.
ratehard	no	real	1.0	$0<=ratehard<=1000$
Flux threshold hard band (in units of $1.0E-14 cgs$ for the exclusion of point sources.
dist	no	real	0.0	$0<=dist<=50$
Minimum allowed separation in arc seconds between sources in arcsec. If two sources are detected that are closer together than this limit, the sources will be combined. Reducing this value allows faint sources close to bright sources to be masked separately.
mlmin	no	real	15.0	$0<=mlmin<=100$
Minimum Max Likelihood detection value.
elowlist	no	int	350	$0<=elowlist<=11999$
The low energy for the band in eV.
ehighlist	no	int	1100	$2<=ehighlist<=12000$
The high energy for the band in eV.
keepinterfiles	no	boolean	true	T/F
Keep (do not delete) intermediary files produced by cheese?
