IPHASMosaic

Software that create mosaics using the IPHAS images with python and montage package.

Pre-requisites

• Python 3.7
• Unix based systems (on Windows, it was tested under WSL)

Installation

Download the latest wheel located in the dist directroy and run pip install name_of_the_wheel.whl.

Usage

from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
from iphasmosaic import IPHASMosaic

coors1 = SkyCoord("19:05:48", "+10:30:00", unit=("hourangle", "deg"))
im = IPHASMosaic(name="StDr19", band="halpha", ra=coors1.ra.value, dec=coors1.dec.value, radius=120)
im.create_tree()
im.download_and_prepare(qcgrade=["A++", "A+", "A"], remove_duplicates=True, report_table=None)
im.mosaic(fix_nan=True)

This will generate a final image in the desired filter and save it as .fits under the main directory (e.g., ./StDr19).
