Catalog source extraction - CAT_EXTRACT

The executable cat_extract performs the source selection from a reference catalog. The output catalog consists of the sources that are in the FoV of the pointings included in the OG. You can also put additional criteria on the sources that would be selected by setting the desirable position (with the parameters radiusMin and radiusMax, which specifies a surface obtained by merging the areas lying between radiusMin and radiusMax from the central point of each pointing), and the desirable flux (with the parameters fluxMin and fluxMax).

Table: cat_extract parameters included in the main script

Name	Name	Type	Description
(main script)	(executable)
cat_extract_radiusMin	radiusMin	string	Lower limit for the position selection default: ``0''
cat_extract_radiusMax	radiusMax	string	Upper limit for the position selection default: ``20''
cat_extract_fluxDef	fluxDef	string	Column used for flux selection possible values: ``1'' - 15-300 keV ``2'' - 0.3-8 MeV default: ``1''
cat_extract_fluxMin	fluxMin	string	Low limit for flux selection [ph/cm /sec] e.g. Crab catalogue value is 0.4458 (15-300 keV) / 0.0167 (0.3-8 MeV) default: ``0.001''
cat_extract_fluxMax	fluxMax	string	High limit for flux selection [ph/cm /sec] default: ``1000''
