Synopsis

Setup the directories and identify the files that are required to carry out the initial processing steps to run PrepFiles on a set of data

Command Line Usage

usage: SetupSpecial  -h [-all]  [-field LMC_c40] [-field LMC_c42] source_table.txt  [source_name1] [Source_name]

where:

source_table.txt is an astropy table with the source names and positions

and the optional prameters

-field is that name of a field, e.g LMC_c42.  For multiple files one can add
tile1, tiles are the names of tiles as specified in the MC_tiles.txt file
If no fields are provided all of the data will be searched.

-h prints this help
-all  causes the program to create 'tiles'  containing the relevant
infomation for all of the sources in the table

Description

This program reads an astropy table containing at least the following columns

Source_name - a string (one_word no space) naming the object RA, Dec - the right ascension and declination of the object in degrees

and constructs ‘tiles’ of one or more of the objects from some of all of the available data.

The astropy table can be local, or it can be stored in the config directory

If the table also contains a column

Size - a size in degrees

then the that size will be used in selecting the images that can contribute to the total. If it does not then a default is assumed.

At present the program does not use the size for anything except what images to include in the processing of that tile.

The program works by reading the det.tab files created by MefSum.py
