binadapt (binadapt-0.16.1) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]

Algorithm

 Read parameters.
 Create appropriate filenames.
 Open all the files:
  Input image, e.g. mos1S001-fovimsky-350-1100.fits
  Input PN OOT image if applicable
  Input Exposure Map
  Input Mask if applicable
  Input QPB, SP, SWCX Maps if applicable
  Determine counts for each input image
  bin the data (withbinning=T)
  adaptively smooth the data (withsmoothing=T)
  Plot radial profile and size in QDP 
  Open two new output files
  If withsmoothing=T then
   Write adapted and size arrays to output files
  else 
   Write rate and sigma arrays to output files
  endif
  Add coord keywords
  Close output files.
