mCatMap1
Point-source imaging program
Usage
mCatMap [-c
column]
[-m
refmag]
[-d
level]
[-w
size]
in.tbl
out.fits
hdr.template
Overview
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.
Options
-
-c column -
Name of the table column that contains flux levels. If not specified, pixels will be populated with source counts rather than summed flux values.
-
-m refmag -
Set a reference magnitude to use when calculating fluxes.
-
-d level -
Turn on debugging to the specified level (1-3)
-
-w size -
Set a spread size for point sources (default is to use no spread). Allowed values are 3 or 5.
Arguments

Examples
To create an image showing the 2MASS point source fluxes (2mass_pt.tbl) in a 2 square degree area defined by 2mass_pt.hdr:
- mCatMap -c flux 2mass_pt.tbl 2mass_pt.fits 2mass_pt.hdr
-
[struct stat="OK", time=4]
