there is no need to guess. If you look at the "Map type" filed it will
tell you which map you computed. Looking right now: "Map type" says
"2mFo-DFc", and the corresponding labels are 2FOFCWT, PH2FOFCWT.
So the answer: yes, what you get is the maximum-likelihood weighted map.

I do not remember what's in that paper, my vague recollection is that
the exp(B*s**2) is applied to F=map_coefficients. Anyway, in PHENIX the
exp B-sharpening applied to the map coefficients (not to Fobs). You have
two options here: provide your own B-factor to be used for sharpening or
let PHENIX determine it automatically.
