Conversion of Source Detection Lists

 

Some source detection applications need input of a source list with specific columns. There are two main sets of columns, the first set is provided by the sliding window detection commands DETECT/LOCAL and DETECT/MAP, the second set by the maximum likelihood detection commands DETECT/MAXLIK and COMPUTE/UPPER_LIMITS. The conversion from one set into the other can be done with the command CONVERT/DETECTION_LISTS.

CONVERT/DETECTION_LISTS in_list out_list
 

A LDETEC table is converted into a ML table, MDETEC table is converted into a ML table, ML table is converted into a LDETEC table, UL table is converted into a LDETEC table. This command allows to prepare a table (from ML detection) for input to the CREATE/BG_IMAGE command or to to prepare a table (from LDETEC and MDETEC detection) to input to the MERGE/ML command (having structure of a ML table).

Attention, the list out_list is not supposed to replace a real output table of the corresponding detection command but just reformats the table. So use the list just for input to another analysis task (like CREATE/BG_IMAGE).

Examples:

CONVERT/DETECTION_LISTS  solst  lslst_so
CONVERT/DETECTION_LISTS  lslst1 solst_ls
