Source Detection

The module provides tools and algorithms for detecting and extracting point-like sources.

API/Reference

Photometry.Detection.extract_sources — Function

extract_sources(::SourceFinder, data, [error]; sorted=true)

Uses method to find and extract point-like sources.

Returns a TypedTables.Table with positions and information related to the method. For instance, using PeakMesh returns a table a column for the peak values.

data is assumed to be background-subtracted. If error is provided it will be propagated into the detection algorithm. If sorted is true the sources will be sorted by their amplitude.
