Diagnostic tool to explore the effects of the map-making process on known sources
"
fakemap"
can be specified to provide an image of the sky that will produce additional astronomical signal to the
time series. A rectangular region is first extracted from the supplied fake map with pixel bounds equal to those
of the main output map. The WCS within this extracted region must match that of the main output
map (i.e. each pixel must have the same sky coordinates in both maps). A typical procedure may
involve: (i) produce a map with makemap; (ii) produce an image with simulated data with the
same pixel dimensions and WCS; (iii) specify this new map for the "
fakemap"
parameter below.
