ASTSCRIPT-PSF-SELECT-STARS(1)	 User Commands	 ASTSCRIPT-PSF-SELECT-STARS(1)

NAME
       astscript-psf-select-stars - Select good	stars for constructing the PSF

SYNOPSIS
       astscript-psf-select-stars [OPTIONS] image.fits

DESCRIPTION
       Build  a	 catalogue  of	"good  stars" that will	be considered for con-
       structing an extended and non parametric	PSF. Here, "good stars"	 means
       that they don't have close objects that affect it sourrondings and con-
       sequently  they are not contaminated. The script	will construct a cata-
       log of stars from reference datasets (Gaia) if the user does  not  pro-
       vide  another  one. In addition to this,	other parameters like the axis
       ratio are considered to filter the sample and select only proper	stars.

   astscript-psf-select-stars options:
	      Input:

       -h, --hdu=STR/INT
	      HDU/Extension name of number of the input	file.

       -S, --segmented=STR
	      Segmentation file	obtained by Segment (astsegment).

       -D, --dataset=STR
	      Query dataset ("gaia --dataset=edr3", etc.).

       -r, --racolumn=STR
	      Right Ascension (R.A.) column name.

       -d, --deccolumn=STR
	      Declination (Dec)	column name.

       -f, --field=STR
	      Magnitude	column name ("phot_rp_mean_mag", for Gaia).

       -p, --parallaxanderrorcolumn=STR,STR The	name of	the parallax column.

       -m, --magnituderange=FLT,FLT The	range of magnitude.

       -Q, --minaxisratio=FLT
	      Minimum axis ratio to be accepted	(default to 0.9).

       -M, --mindistdeg=FLT
	      Minimum distance to more bright  neighbour  stars.   to  be  ac-
	      cepted, in degrees.

       -c, --catalog=STR
	      Catalog of stars containing: ra, dec, magnitude, parrallax, par-
	      rallax_error.

       -a, --matchaperturedeg=FLT Aperture, in pixels, to match	catalogue ra
       and
	      dec coordinates with clumps' ra and dec.

       -F, --faintmagdiff
	      The difference from the faintest star which the user will	be de-
	      termined the faintest star in '--magnituderange' option.

       -b, --brightmag
	      The limit	for selecting wider range of bright stars.

	      Output:

       -o, --output
	      Output table with	the object coordinates.

       -t, --tmpdir
	      Directory	to keep	temporary files.

       -k, --keeptmp
	      Keep temporal/auxiliar files.

	      Operating	mode:

       -h, --help
	      Print this help.

       --cite BibTeX citation for this program.

       -q, --quiet
	      Don't print any extra information	in stdout.

       -V, --version
	      Print program version.

       Mandatory  or  optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or
       optional	for any	corresponfing short options.
