Modules: Mosaic Combine

PURPOSE

This module combines the co-added tiles into a mosaiced image. Even if the Coaddition has been done in a single tile, this module must be run in order to produce the expected outputs.

PARAMETER BLOCK

There is no parameter block for this module, but there is a choice of several output mosaic types available, all of which are set in the Global Parameters section of the Mosaic namelist.

INPUTS

There are no user-defined inputs for this module.

OUTPUTS

Outlier Tile BCD File (Outlier-mosaic/tile_bcd.txt): This text file lists the outlier images which contribute to each output tile of the outlier mosaic. The format of the file is the tile ID, the number of contributing images, and the image index within the stack.

Outlier Tile Table (Outlier-mosaic/tiles.tbl): A table listing the outlier tiles, their sizes, and their offsets in the x- and y-directions with respect to the FIF.

Mosaic Outlier File (mosaic_outlier.fits): The combined, co-added mosaic of temporal outlier detections.

Dual Outlier Tile BCD File (DualOutlier-mosaic/tile_bcd.txt): This text file lists the dual outlier images which contribute to each output tile of the outlier mosaic. The format of the file is the tile ID, the number of contributing images, and the image index within the stack.

Dual Outlier Tile Table (DualOutlier-mosaic/tiles.tbl): A table listing the dual outlier tiles, their sizes, and their offsets in the x- and y-directions with respect to the FIF.

Mosaic Dual Outlier File (mosaic_dual_outlier.fits): The combined, co-added mosaic of dual outlier detections.

Median Tile BCD File (Coadd-mosaic/coadd_median_tile_bcd.txt): This text file lists the input images which contribute to each output tile of the median mosaic. The format of the file is the tile ID, the number of contributing images, and the image index within the stack.

Median Tile Table (Coadd-mosaic/coadd_median_tiles.tbl): A table listing the tiles of the median mosaic, their sizes, and their offsets in the x- and y-directions with respect to the FIF.

Mosaic Median File (median_mosaic.fits): The output median mosaic.

Mosaic image File (mosaic.fits): The output mosaic FITS image. When displayed in the GUI, the footprint of the interpolated input images is overlaid on the mosaic. It may be turned off using the "Mosaic" check box in the display window.

Mosaic uncertainty File (mosaic_unc.fits): The output uncertainty mosaic.

Mosaic Standard Deviation File (mosaic_std.fits): The output standard deviation mosaic.

Mosaic coverage File (mosaic_cov.fits): The output coverage mosaic.
