Output

The report file (named by the report= parameter, and defaulting to astrom.lis) is a human-readable report of ASTROM's actions and its results. The summary file, which normally appears on the terminal, contains observations and warnings about ASTROM's progress, and should be monitored. Neither of these files, however, is intended to be easily machine-parseable, and so if ASTROM is used within a larger system, the other output files will be useful. The log file is a report on ASTROM's actions and results which is easy to parse, and easy to extract information from. The WCS files contain ASTROM's results in the form of a FITS header, containing FITS WCS keywords. Both these files are described in the subsections below.
