adapt creates adaptively smoothed background subtracted and exposure corrected images. For each unmasked pixel, the program will average neighboring pixels within a circle of increasing radius until a selected number of counts is reached. The original pixel is then given the average surface brightness for the pixels within the circle. Binning by pixels can be selected.
Warning and requirements: adapt is part of the esas package integrated into SAS, but is limited to work within esas data reduction scheme. This is particularly true with respect to the structure and names of the input files. In particular, adapt assumes that other tasks from the package, like mos-spectra, mos-back, and if desired comb must have been successfully run for the exposures to be used.
