Fit and subtract the monopole from the given map m.

Parameters:
mfloat, array-like

nestbool

if False m is assumed in RING scheme, otherwise map is NESTED

badfloat

gal_cutfloat [degrees]

pixels at latitude in [-gal_cut;+gal_cut] are not taken into account

fitvalbool

whether to return or not the fitted value of monopole

copybool

whether to modify input map or not (by default, make a copy)

verbose: bool
