Modules: Create RMask Mosaic

Namelist Trigger: create_rmask_mosaic
Output Directory Keyword: RMASK_DIR
Default Output Directory: <output_dir>/Rmask
Depends on: Mosaic RMask

Important Notes: This module treats the RMasks as normal images, so co-adding them using this module causes all bit information to be lost in the output mosaic.


PURPOSE

    This module creates an output mosaic of the Rmask images.

PARAMETER BLOCK

    There is no parameter block for this module

INPUTS

    There are no user-defined inputs for this module

OUTPUTS

    RMask Mosaic (mosaic.fits): this single FITS file is the mosaiced Rmasks, showing all of the outlier pixels rejected by MOPEX for this dataset. It is written to the Rmask output directory, so it does not overwrite the primary mosaic output despite the similar name.

DISCUSSION

The Rmask images are interpolated and coadded into a single mosaic. However, they are treated as regular images, so that all the bit information is lost in the process.
