Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Input
Source positions are read from the input source list file which has to contain
celestial coordinates (RA, DEC), EPIC-pn counts (PN_CTS)
and EPIC-pn offaxis information (PN_OFFAX). This is the default method.
Table 2:
Input Source List. Mandatory Columns (case 1)
| Src number |
Right-ascension |
Declination |
PN counts |
PN Off Axis |
| SRC_NUM |
RA |
DEC |
PN_CTS |
PN_OFFAX |
Alternatively the extraction region radius for each source can be present in the input
source list as SRC_RAD.

The resulting Background information will be added to the input Source List in extra columns.
(see Section 3.2 for information about those extra columns).
