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

Installation

StarbugII requires webbpsf installed on the system to function fully.

$~ pip install starbug2
$~ starbug2 --init

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       --update-param             : Update an out-of-date local parameter file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)
