Outputs

The purpose of the INTMAP program is to generate the intensity and exposure files for the input event file and these will obviously be the main program outputs. In addition, a program report is generated on the printer and the SKYMAP directory is updated.

• Output FITS files: The exposure and intensity files: these files are totally similar to the event SKYMAP files. The only difference is in the header, the data type and the file names. Refer to the Program Definition document for more information. Once generated, the files become part of the FITS database and may be displayed by the SKYMAP program.
• Program report: the report will list relevant information about the execution. The program title, version number and date, the name and directory information of the selected file will be printed. The input file header, the calibration and exposure history file names, viewing period number and the header of the output file appear on the report.
