... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Specifying source region shapes . When radiusstyle =`contour', the task calculates the source region shape as an elliptical locus which approximates the contour of the PSF at a given flux value. ... Clearly, in order to calculate the shape of such a flux contour, it is necessary firstly to normalize the PSF to the source brightness and secondly to determine the flux level (in `brightness' units per pixel) at which to find the contour. ...

This diagram illustrates two block boxes, one above the other, with rectangular clipping regions of different dimensions. ... Both axes depict increments of 5px. The clipping region of the first P box lies entirely within it, offset 5px from the top and left edges of the P box, and 10px from the right and bottom edges. ... The clipping region of the second P box resembles that of the first in style and position, except that the right edge is 5px to the right of the P box's right edge. ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

M100 is a challenging target. It has a diameter of 5.5 arcminutes and a total integrated magnitude of around 9.5. It is an excellent example of disk galaxy which has strong spiral structure. The Hubble pictures refer to only the inner 2.5x2.5 arcminutes of the galaxy, which corresponds to the brighter regions in the ground based blue CCD image.
