This module allows you to select the columns to be written to the final extract table. The<br />

module also allows you to select which rows to write out, based on a range of conditions.<br />

INPUT<br />

Columns selection:<br />

srcid: Extracted source number.<br />

detid: Detected source number.<br />

N_PS: Number of point sources needed to fit the data simultaneously. N_PS ><br />

1 indicates passive or active de-blending.<br />

RA: Right Ascension (deg) of source.<br />

de lta_RA: RA uncertainty.<br />

Dec: Declination (deg) of source.<br />

delta_Dec: Dec uncertainty.<br />

delta_RAD: RA-Dec cross-term error determined from delta_xy.<br />

x: x-coordinate of source in the mosaic (pixels).<br />

delta_x: x-coordinate uncertainty.<br />

y: y-coordinate of source in the mosaic (pixels).<br />

de lta_y: y-coordinate uncertainty.<br />

delta_xy: x-y cross term of the error matrix.<br />

flux: Flux of the point source. Units are specified in the header. Currently set<br />

to microJy.<br />

delta_flux: Flux uncertainty from the fit. See also SNR below.<br />

bckgrnd: Background estimate, constant in the fitting area. It is produced if<br />

Background_Fit = 1 is set in the Source Estimate GUI panel or namelist<br />

file (or -back is given on the command line).<br />

chi2/dof: χ 2 / dof (number of degrees of freedom) of the fit.<br />

ps_chi2/dof: Partial χ 2 / dof (number of degrees of freedom) of one point source in<br />

the fit. Different from the previous column for passive deblending. See<br />

below for the explanation of the difference between the two.<br />

status: The fit is considered successful if χ 2 / dof is lower than<br />

Chi2_Threshold.<br />

Status Value Meaning<br />

-4 Initialization in Simplex failed.<br />

-3 Number of degrees of freedom
