The scripts included with MOPEX are split into "Supported" and "Under Construction". Supported scripts are verified and fully-supported by the SSC, and are split into "Commonly Used" and "Auxiliary" scripts. Those under construction are either unfinished or have not been verified, and are used entirely at the user's risk. The SSC does not support scripts under construction.

| apex_qa.pl |
Creates point source subtracted mosaic |
see apex.html |
| cosmetic.pl |
For IRAC data only; removes muxbleed and column pull-down artifacts in IRAC images. Superceded by Sean Carey's IDL code, available as Contributed Software. |
README_cosmetic (txt) |
| fiducial_frame.pl |
Creates mosaic projection table |
|
| flatfield.pl |
Performs final flatfielding. Not recommended for use with IRAC data |
README_flatfield (txt) |
| mosaic.pl |
For mosaicking the BCDs with/without outlier detection |
mosaicking (html) |
| mosaic_sed.pl |
Performs interpolation and coadition of MIPS SED (spectral energy distribution) images, and extraction of the spectra |
mosaic_sed.pdf |
| overlap.pl |
Performs background matching on BCDs |
background_matching.pdf |
| prf_estimate.pl |
Not for use with IRAC data or any other undersampled data. Runs PRF (Point Response Function) estimation |
PRF_estimate.pdf |
| copy_HDR_keywords.pl |
Copies HDR-mode header keywords |
|
| easymosaic.pl |
Produces a quick-look mosaic without having to specify parameters |
README_easymosaic (txt) |
| hdr_mask.pl |
Replaces saturated pixels in the long integration time frames with their counterparts from the short integration time frames |
README_hdr_mask (txt) |
| HDR_Split.pl |
Splits filelists into short, medium and long exposures in HDR mode |
|
| mosaic_mask.pl |
Creates a mosaic of the mask images(e.g. creates a mosaic of Rmask images) |
mosaic_mask.pdf |
| numbertable.pl |
Numbers the rows in a table |
|
| pointing_refine.pl |
Performs absolute/relative pointing refinement (generally not needed as pointing refinement is now done automatically as part of the IRAC pipeline) |
pointingrefine.html |
| PSEutils.pl |
Library functions. DO NOT EDIT |
|
swap_refined_keywords.pl |
Swaps the refine pointing and the default keywords (e.g. to view in ds9 since it won't automatically see the refined keywords) |
|
| table_1col_stat.pl |
Computes histogram for a table column |
|
| table_stat.pl |
Computes statistics for a table column |
|
