Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

ParameterMand Type Default Constraints
prefixyesstring1S001 
Detector and exposure identifier (eg. "1S001") for MOS1 S001 exposure to be processed.
 
caldbyesstring  
Directory containing all the ESAS specific calibration files
 
regionyesintreg.txt 
the selection expression for the desired region for the generation of the model background spectrum. If no file with the input name exists, or if the file is empty, then the default is to model the data from the entire field of view. If a specific region is desired, the region expression must be in detector coordinates. For example, a file containing &&((DETX,DETY) IN circle(201,-219,3600)) would extract the central $3'$ of the cluster Abell 1795. Note that the leading “&&” are required as the selection expression is added to other constraints.
 
maskyesint  
Flag to mask out point sources. 0 selects no masking while 1 will cause mos-spectra to use the output filtered source region file from cheese or cheese-bands.
 
elowyesint400 
Energy low limit (in eV) for the band. If elow and ehigh are set to 0, the image processing will be eliminated and only spectral files will be produced.
 
ehighyesint1250 
Energy high limit (in eV) for the band. If elow and ehigh are set to 0, the image processing will be eliminated and only spectral files will be produced.
 
ccd1-7yesint1 
Flag to include individual CCDs. 1 to include, 0 to not.
