Here Ij is the value of the interpolated pixel in image j, and cj is the pixe l value of the<br />

corresponding coverage map. Co-added uncertainty U = W-1 is given by the following<br />

expression:<br />

where σj is the pixel value of the corresponding uncertainty image, and co-added coverage C<br />

is simply the sum of the individual input coverages:<br />

Equation 6.5<br />

Exposure Time Weighted Average: If Integration Time Weighted Coadd is selected then<br />

<strong>MOPEX</strong> weights the co-added pixels by the exposure time given in the fits header keyword<br />

specified. For Spitzer data, the integration time is given by the keyword EXPTIME.<br />

6.5.8 APEX Modules: Detect MedFilter<br />

Command Line Equivalent: run_detect_medfilter<br />

Default Output Directory: /Medfilter-apex<br />

De pe nds On: Mosaic Interpolate<br />

Relevant Pipelines: All<br />

PURPOSE<br />

This module is an instance of the same MedFilter that is run during outlier rejection in the<br />

Mosaic pipeline. In this case, it performs the background subtraction of the mosaicked image<br />

(or tiles), which will be used for source detection. There are two options - the Median case<br />

(default) and the Sbkg case, which uses a background estimate like that of SExtractor.<br />
