Imaging: Mosaicking

User's Guides

• Post-BCD Documentation
• IRAC Data Handbook, MIPS Data Handbook

To run the mosaicker, you will need to:

• Download and install the MOPEX package
  Follow the instructions to download and install MOPEX
• Familiarize yourself with the archive pipeline products for IRAC data, MIPS-24 data, MIPS-70 data, and MIPS-160 data
• Retrieve the pmasks (permanently damaged pixels) and bit definition (scroll down to the section entitled "Pmasks")
  How to set the MOPEX input parameter "PMask_Fatal_BitPattern" is also found here.
• Retrieve the bit definition of the IRAC dmasks, MIPS-24 dmasks, and MIPS-70 and 160 dmasks
  How to set the MOPEX input parameter "DCE_Status_Mask_Fatal_BitPattern" is also found here
• Retrieve the pipeline namelists (optional)

Common Problems

• Don't forget to set the appropriate paths in mopex.csh
• Remember to source mopex.csh before running the code
