# maphot | ||
My wrapper for using TrIPPy to do photometry of the same object in many images of the same field. | ||
Work in progress. | ||
My wrapper for using ``TrIPPy`` to do photometry of the same object in many | ||
images of the same field. | ||
|
||
#``best`` | ||
The ``best`` module that runs Source Extracter for all images in a set, | ||
identifies sources that are present in all images, lets the user inspect and | ||
filter those sources (using ``TrIPPy``'s ``psfStarChooser`` tool) and then | ||
returns a Source Extractor-like catalog. | ||
Having this "best" catalog speeds up the process of doing the photometry, as only a small catalog with known good sources are being used. | ||
|
||
``maphot`` | ||
The ``maphot`` module is the main body, which loops over every image in a set, | ||
performing photometry using the ``TrIPPy`` package of both the TNO and of all | ||
stars in the input catalog. | ||
|
||
#``photcor`` | ||
The ``photcory`` module reads the star magnitudes measured in each image, | ||
identifies stars that were measured in all images, displays the magnitudes as a | ||
function of image number to the user and aids the user to reject non-constant | ||
stars (stars that don't follow the median trend) and then uses the median trend | ||
of these good stars to remove that trend from all star and TNO photometry, | ||
resulting in (on average) constant stars and well-calibrated TNO magnitudes. | ||
|
||
#``fixzero`` | ||
I think fixzero is not relevant anymore and can probably be deleted. It | ||
originates from a time when I had hardcoded the zeropoint to be 26 rather than | ||
using the zeropoint in the image headers, which is of course stupid. | ||
|
||
#Warnings: | ||
Work in progress. | ||
Only ever used by one person, so I'm sure it's full of bugs. | ||
This code has only been tested on images from Hyper Suprime-Cam on Subaru. | ||
Currently assumes that images are aligned. | ||
Currently requires image zero-points to already be callibrated. |
