JWST PSF photometry in complex crowded fields.

Project description

StarBugII

PSF photometry in complex and crowded fields

  • Detect deeply dust-embedded sources in NIRCam and MIRI images

  • Full suite of photometry tools

  • Powerful modular and simple GNU Linux standard command line interface


Python application PyPI version fury.io Latest release Documentation Status ASCL.net

Installation

StarbugII requires webbpsf installed on the system to function fully.

$~ pip install starbug2
$~ starbug2 --init

[!IMPORTANT] If you make use of StarbugII in any published or presented work, please include a citation.

StarbugII uses methods and datatypes from astropy and photutils, please acknowledge them accordingly.


Documentation

See the full documentation for the complete installation and detailed guides to using the photometric routines. Basic usage information is produced by running:

StarbugII - JWST PSF photometry
usage: starbug2 [-ABDfGhMPSv] [-b bgdfile] [-d apfile] [-n ncores] [-o ouput] [-p file.param] [-s opt=val] image.fits ...
   -A  --apphot          : run aperture photometry on a source list
   -B  --background      : run background estimation
   -b  --bgdfile         : load background (-bgd.fits) file
   -d  --apfile  ap.fits : load a source detection (-ap.fits) file to skip the source detection step
   -D  --detect          : run source detection
   -f  --find            : attempt to find associated -ap -bgd files
   -G  --geom            : calculate geometric stats on source list
   -h  --help            : display uasage information
   -M  --match           : match outputs from all input image files
   -n  --ncores      num : number of CPU cores to split process between
   -o  --output      dir : output directory
   -p  --param   a.param : load parameter file
   -P  --psf             : run psf photometry
   -s  --set      option : set value in parameter file at runtime (-s SIGSKY=3)
   -S  --subbgd          : subtract background from image
   -v  --verbose         : display verbose outputs

   --> Single run commands
       --init                     : Initialise Starbug (post install)
       --local-param              : Make a local copy of the default parameter file
       --update-param             : Update an out-of-date local parameter file
       --generate-psf             : Generate a single PSF. Set FILTER, DET_NAME, PSF_SIZE with -s
       --generate-region   a.fits : Make a ds9 region file with a detection file
       --generate-run      *.fits : Generate a simple run script
       --version                  : Print starbug2 version

       --apply-zeropint    a.fits : Apply a zeropoint (-s ZP_MAG=1.0) to a.fits
       --calc-instr-zp     a.fits : Calculate and apply an instrumental zero point onto a.fits

   --> typical runs
      $~ starbug2 -vD -p file.param image.fits      //Source detect on image with a parameter file
      $~ starbug2 -vDM -n4 images*.fits             //Source detect and match outputs of a list of images
      $~ starbug2 -vd image-ap.fits -BP image.fits  //PSF photometry on an image with a source file (image-ap.fits)

StarbugII Matching 
usage: starbug2-match [-BCGfhv] [-e column] [-o output] [-p file.param] [-s KEY=VAL] table.fits ...
    -B  --band               : match in "BAND" mode (does not preserve a column for every frame)
    -C  --cascade            : match in "CASCADE" mode (left justify columns)
    -G  --generic            : match in "GENERIC" mode

    -e  --error   column     : photometric error column ("eflux" or "stdflux")
    -f  --full               : export full catalogue
    -h  --help               : show help message
    -o  --output  file.fits  : output matched catalogue
    -p  --param   file.param : load starbug parameter file
    -s  --set     option     : set value in parameter file at runtime (-s MATCH_THRESH=1)
