Montage

Software Tool • Operational

Montage is a toolkit for assembling Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) images into custom mosaics. Key features for end users are: 

Accuracy: Preserves spatial and calibration fidelity of input images 

Portability: Runs on all common Linux/Unix platforms 

Scalability: Runs on desktops, clusters and computational grids 

Availability: Open source code and user documentation available for download 

Generality: Supports all World Coordinate System (WCS) projections and common coordinate systems 

Performance: Processes 40 million pixels in up to 32 minutes on 128 nodes on a Linux cluster 

Flexibility: Independent engines for analyzing the geometry of images on the sky; re-projecting images; rectifying background emission to a common level; co-adding images 

Convenience: Tools for managing and manipulating large image files
