SEXTRACTOR MODULE.

This package contains the module for sextractor.

Author

Axel Guinot

Parent module

mask_runner

Input

Single-exposure single-CCD image, weight and flag files

Output

SExtractor output catalogue

Description

This module calls the community standard source extraction software SExtractor [Bertin and Arnouts, 1996] to detect objects in the input images. All of the standard SExtractor options can be used by specifying the paths to the appropriate configuration files.

Post-processing steps can be carried out to add additional FITS HDUs to tile catalogues for each exposure, indicating the CCD number.

Module-specific config file entries

EXEC_PATHstr, optional

Full path to the SExtractor executable (sex) on the system; if not set the version controlled SExtractor installation in the ShapePipe environment will be used

DOT_SEX_FILEstr

Full path to the .sex configuration file for SExtractor

DOT_PARAM_FILEstr

Full path to the .param configuration file for SExtractor

DOT_CONV_FILEstr

Full path to the .conv kernel file for SExtractor

BKG_KEYstr, optional

Name of header key for background levels

CHECKIMAGElist, optional

List of header key names corresponding to check images

PREFIXstr, optional

Output file name prefix

MAKE_POST_PROCESSbool

Option to run post-processing steps
