Centroid Parameters


This dialog sets preferences for certain centroid position measurements, as in the Source Extraction Module.

Sample Radius

Specifies the maximum radius, in pixels units, for pixel value used in computing the centroid positon. The optimal radius is usually about 2 times the actual FWHM. For example, if the FWHM of a point source is critically sampled near 2 pixels, a sample radius of about 4 pixels gives the most accurate centroid position.
