7.5.5        PRF Estimate Modules: Split By Array Position

Command-Line Equivalent: split_by_array_position

Default Output Directory: N/A

Depends On: Input files

 

PURPOSE

This module allows the user to direct MOPEX to divide the detector array into a number of sectors and generate a separate PRF file for each. The array positions are given in the input PRF Map table specified with the input keyword PRF Map Filename.

 

INPUTS

PRF Map Filename: The name of the PRF Map file specifying the spatial areas of the array, and matching a PRF file to each section. See §8.7 for the format of the PRF Map table.

 

COMMAND LINE INPUT

In Global Parameters:

PRFMAP_FILE_NAME = ch1_prfmap.tbl

 

OUTPUTS

PRF#? Generated FITS Files (img_i_j.fits): The postage stamps corresponding to the point sources within each region. These files are given the name img_i_j.fits, corresponding to the i^th point source in the j^th image in the input stack.

 

DISCUSSION

See the discussion of the variable Pixel Response Function in §8.7 for more information about the syntax of the PRF map.
