mCatMap
(in_table, out_image, template_header, column=None, ref_mag=None, debug_level=None, size=None)[source] [edit on github]¶ mCatMap is a point-source imaging program. The user defines a general output FITS image, and its pixels are populated from a table of point sources. The source fluxes (or just source counts) from the table are added into the appropriate pixel to create an output image.
Parameters: in_table : str
Input table of source metadata.
out_image : str
Path of output FITS file.
template_header : str
ASCII header template defining output FITS file.
column : str, optional
Name of the table column that contains flux levels. If not specified, pixels will be populated with source counts rather than summed flux values.
ref_mag : float, optional
Set a reference magnitude to use when calculating fluxes.
debug_level : int, optional
Turn on debugging to the specified level (1-3)
size : int, optional
Set a spread size for point sources (default is to use no spread). Allowed values are 3 or 5.
