| MIPS-24 Photometry-mode command-line mosaic |
In this cookbook, we use the command-line version of MOPEX to
mosaic small-field 24 micron photometry observations. The target is a
Pleides star observed as part of the Legacy Program "The Formation and
Evolution of Planetary Systems: Placing Our Solar System in Context".
This cookbook continues in a source
extraction step. |
|
MIPS-24 Photometry-mode data download self-calibration command-line/GUI mosaic GUI source extraction |
This link provides a tutorial on how to reduce your MIPS-24 Photomery
Mode observations, from start to finish, including downloading the
data, recognizing artifacts in the downloaded Post-BCD data, and
performing self-calibration to remove these artifacts. |
|
MIPS-24 Scan-mode PRF Estimation Source Extraction |
This cookbook demonstrates how to use APEX to select point sources for PRF
estimation, run the PRF estimate tool, and then use the real PRF for
point source extraction. Special care is taken in removing Airy rings
of bright point sources as they create false detections. The final
products are a table of point source fluxes and a point source
subtracted mosaic image. |
| MIPS-70 Photometry-mode command-line mosaic |
In this cookbook, we use the command-line version of MOPEX to mosaic small-field 70 micron photometry observations. The target is a Pleides star observed as part of the Legacy Program "The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: Placing Our Solar System in Context". This cookbook continues in a source extraction step. |
|
MIPS-70 Scan-mode command-line mosaic |
This cookbook shows how to use the command-line version of MOPEX to
create a mosaic of a portion of the MIPS 70-micron scan mode data
obtained as part of the Galactic First Look Survey (GFLS). |
|
MIPS-70 Scan-mode GUI Source Extraction |
A tutorial on how to use APEX to extract PSF Photometry from the
COSMOS 70 micron scan map mosaic. |
| IRAC1234 GUI overlap correction GUI mosaic |
This cookbook demonstrates how to use the MOPEX GUI to produce a
science-grade IRAC mosaic images from COSMOS Legacy observations.
These techniques are generally applicable to medium deep black-field
survey observations (~15 minute integrations with more than 10
exposures). |
IRAC1234 command-line overlap correction command-line mosaic |
This example demonstrates how to run the Spitzer mosaicker to create mosaics of a large field of view around the SINGS galaxy NGC 1097 in IRAC channels 1 through 4. We pay special attention to choosing the appropriate parameters in the mosaicker namelist files, and discuss the effect of various choices of several of these parameters. For channels 3 and 4, we show how to run the overlap correction script before mosaicking. The final products include the mosaic image, the mosaic uncertainty image, and the mosaic coverage map. |
| IRAC12 command-line mosaic |
This example demonstrates how to use the command-line version of
MOPEX to make a mosaic of a portion of the Galactic First Look Survey.
It focusses on IRAC channels 1 and 2. |
| IRAC34 command-line mosaic |
This example demonstrates how to use the command-line version of
MOPEX to make a mosaic of a portion of the Galactic First Look Survey.
It focusses on IRAC channels 3 and 4. |
