This would be where the background computed using one of the algorithms discussed in Section 1.3 is applied to the science data to initialize point-source detection processing. @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ Source Identification using PSFs -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +-------------------------------- This option, introduced in Drizzlepac v3.3.0, drizzles model PSFs created using TinyTim to match the orientation and plate scale of the observation to look for sources in the image. Where DAOFind convolves the image with a perfect Gaussian whose FWHM has been specified by the user, this option convolves the image with the model PSF to identify all sources which most
