Running <strong>MOPEX</strong> on the<br />

Command Line<br />

defined in the Source Estimate module.<br />

Select Detect run_select_detect Allows the user to select the columns and<br />

rows from the detect table to be written out<br />

to the full extract table<br />

Source Estimate run_sourcestimate Performs point source estimation using<br />

PRF-fitting. Estimates fluxes refines the<br />

p ositions of the point source candidates<br />

from the detect table.<br />

Aperture<br />

(Photometry)<br />

run_aperture Calculates the flux(es) within the specified<br />

circular aperture(s) for each source in the<br />

extract table. The module will optionally<br />

subtract a background value calculated<br />

from a user-defined annulus.<br />

Select run_select Allows the user to select the columns and<br />

rows to be written to the final extract table,<br />

based on a range of user-specified<br />

conditions.<br />

create_residual_mosaic<br />

(with apex_1frame.pl)<br />

Subtracts the extracted point<br />

sources from the input images or<br />

the input mosaic to create residual<br />

images. Invaluable for testing the<br />

results of PRF-fitting.<br />
