DAOFindStars

class prose.blocks.detection.DAOFindStars(sigma_clip=2.5, lower_snr=5, fwhm=5, n_stars=None, min_separation=None, sort=True, name=None)

DAOPHOT stars detection with photutils implementation.

write Image.stars_coords and Image.peaks

Parameters:

• sigma_clip (float, optional) – sigma clipping factor used to evaluate background, by default 2.5

• lower_snr (int, optional) – minimum snr (as source_flux/background), by default 5

• fwhm (int, optional) – typical fwhm of image psf, by default 5

• n_stars (int, optional) – maximum number of stars to consider, by default None

• min_separation (float, optional) – minimum separation between sources, by default 5.0. If less than that, close sources are merged

• sort (bool, optional) – whether to sort stars coordinates from the highest to the lowest intensity, by default True
