OUTPUT<br />

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

Outlier Output FITS (*_rmask.fits): The output stack of mask images. The flagged pixels<br />

have positive bit values, with bit 0 for single frame, bit 1 for multi-frame rejection, bit 2 for<br />

dual outlier rejection, and bit 3 for box outlier rejection.<br />

DISCUSSION<br />

The module combines the results from the four different ways of rejecting outlier pixels. The<br />

outlier pixels in each interpolated image are traced back to the corresponding input image<br />

frame.<br />

Bottom Threshold and Top Threshold can be set in both the Mosaic Outlier and Mosaic<br />

RMask modules. Their values can be increased going from Mosaic Outlier to Mosaic RMask,<br />

but cannot be decreased. The Bottom Threshold and Top Threshold parameters are often set<br />

to 3 in the pipeline namelists for IRAC and MIPS-24, and 3.5 for MIPS-70 and MIPS-160.<br />

However, these numbers are not optimal for all cases. For example, a value of 3 is too low for<br />

IRAC for coverage ~50 and leads to false detections. A value of 10 is preferable. Users need<br />

to experiment with these settings and find the optimal value for any specific data.<br />
