Process data for the SASSy project REDUCE_SASSY
Raw data are passed to the map maker which are processed to produce an image, which is calibrated in mJy/beam. Once all the data for a given target have been processed, the individual images are coadded using inverse-variance weighting. The noise properties of the coadd are calculated and written to a log file, log.noise.
The coadd has a matched-filter applied (to highlight compact sources) and is then passed to the Fellwalker source-finding algorithm to pick out sources at or above the 5-sigma level. A catalogue is written to disk if sources were found.
The image noise and and NEFD are stored in log.noise and log.nefd respectively.
For large amounts of data this recipe will spend a long time not updating the ORAC-DR output. Check to see that makemap is still processing by running top or ps.
Alternative configuration parameters for the iterative map-maker may be specified using the recipe parameters outlined below.
The output map is calibrated in units of mJy/beam.
