ctskymap

Generate sky map from event list(s).

Synopsis

This tool creates a sky map from either a single event list or event lists provided in an observation definition file. The tool will loop over all event lists that are provided and fill all events into a single sky map. Only events within an energy interval spanned by emin and emax are considered.

ctskymap generates a FITS file comprising a sky map as primary extension.

General parameters

inobs [file]
Input event list or observation definition XML file.
outmap [file]
Output sky map file.
emin [real]
Minimum energy in map (in TeV).
emax [real]
Maximum energy in map (in TeV).
(usepnt = no) [boolean]
Use pointing instead of xref/yref parameters?
nxpix [integer]
Size of the Right Ascension / Galactic longitude axis (in pixels).
nypix [integer]
Size of the Declination / Galactic latitude axis (in pixels).
binsz [real]
Pixel size (in degrees/pixel).
coordsys <CEL|GAL> [string]
Coordinate system (CEL - celestial, GAL - galactic).
xref [real]
Right Ascension / Galactic longitude of image centre (J2000, in degrees).
yref [real]
Declination / Galactic latitude of image centre (J2000, in degrees).
proj <AIT|AZP|CAR|MER|STG|TAN> [string]
Projection method.

Standard parameters

(publish = no) [boolean]
Specifies whether the sky map should be published on VO Hub.
(chatter = 2) [integer]
Verbosity of the executable:

chatter = 0: no information will be logged

chatter = 1: only errors will be logged

chatter = 2: errors and actions will be logged

chatter = 3: report about the task execution

chatter = 4: detailed report about the task execution

(clobber = yes) [boolean]
Specifies whether an existing output sky map file should be overwritten.
(debug = no) [boolean]
Enables debug mode. In debug mode the executable will dump any log file output to the console.
(mode = ql) [string]
Mode of automatic parameters (default is “ql”, i.e. “query and learn”).
(logfile = ctskymap.log) [string]
Name of log file.
