Input Files

For the full treatment images (products) from running mosspectra and pnspectra, mosback and pnback, proton, swcx, and rotdet2sky are needed. However, the combining of model particle background and soft proton images can be turned off by the withpartbkg and withspbkg parameters.

The user enters a list of prefixes, which are simply the expid prefaced by a detector indicator, e.g. 1S001 for a MOS1 expid, 2S002 for MOS2 expid, and S003 for a PN expid respectively.

Upon entering the prefix list, combimage will construct all of the input depending on the user's choices. At minimum, it will construct:

• prefix-fovimsky-elow-ehigh.fits (e.g. mos1S001-fovimsky-350-1100.fits) One for each prefix listed.
• prefix-bkgimsky-elow-ehigh.fits (One for each prefix listed)
• prefix-swcximsky-elow-ehigh.fits (One for each prefix listed)
• prefix-protimsky-elow-ehigh.fits (One for each prefix listed)
• prefix-cheesecheesetype.fits (If WITHCHEESE selected) (cheesetype can only be s,h,t,smsl,hmsl,tmsl, one for each prefix listed)
• prefix-maskim-elow-ehigh.fits (If WITHMASK selected) (One for each prefix listed)
