... In asmooth at present sources can be removed and the local background interpolated over their positions. ... To create such a map, the user should supply asmooth , via the parameters withsrclistset and srclistset , with a list of sources produced by either eboxdetect or emldetect . ... For each source, asmooth calculates an elliptical boundary, being the locus at which the point spread function (PSF) of the source decreases to some constant value times the value of the local background. ...

T he Siding Spring Survey (SSS) is a Near-Earth Object search program that utilises the 0.5-m Uppsala Schmidt Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, N.S.W., Australia. ... The mission of the Siding Spring Survey is to contribute to the inventory of near-earth objects (NEOs), or more specifically, the potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) and comets (PHOs) that may pose a threat of impact and thus harm to civilization. ...

The astrometric information in FITS images (also referred to as the WCS) is stored in the header using a standard set of keywords. The reference location is defined by the following keywords: . ... CD1_1 is the partial of first axis coordinate w.r.t. x . ... This facilitates proper translation of pixel to sky coordinates for science analysis, and allows for all the necessary shifting information for each image to be stored in the header of the image itself for future alignment reference. ...
