<strong>MOPEX</strong> User’s <strong>Guide</strong><br />

This module creates a unified grid coordinate system and defines the spatial boundaries that<br />

will inc lude all BCD images. The output FIF table is required for later modules to run. It can<br />

be generated by this module, or set as an input using a pre-existing table. If you have<br />

appended your APEX pipeline to a Mosaic pipeline then you can omit this module; APEX<br />

will automatically use the Mosaic FIF table.<br />

INPUT<br />

Edge Padding: (int) This number specifies how much extra space (arcseconds) will be added<br />

to the four edges of the final mosaicked image.<br />

Projection: This parameter specifies the projection type of the output mosaic. The TAN and<br />

SIN projections are implemented using the fast direct plane-to-plane coordinate<br />

transformation. The rest of the projections in the WCS library - LIN, AZP, STG, ARC, ZPN,<br />

ZEA, AIR, CYP, CAR, MER, CEA, COP, COD, COE, COO, BON, PCO, GLS, PAR, AIT,<br />

MOL, CSC, QSC, TSC, NCP, DSS, PLT, TNX - are implemented as a two step plane-skyplane<br />

projection. The default projection is TAN.<br />

Coordinate Sys te m: The coordinate system of the output mosaic. The choices are J2000<br />

(Equatorial), Galactic, or Ecliptic. The default is J2000.<br />

Use average input orientation: Defines the orientation of the output mosaic. Checking this<br />

box indicates that <strong>MOPEX</strong> should use the average of the input BCD orientations. This is the<br />

default setting. To specify an alternative orientation, see CROTA2.<br />

CROTA2: (float) Defines the orientation (degrees East of North) of the output mosaic.<br />

CROTA2 = 0 indicates North up and East left. To use the average of the input BCD<br />

orientations (the default), check the Use average input orientation box.<br />
