  35. Measuring Quantities From the Images: The Photo pipeline

  36. [asinh( ) + ln(b)] f/f0 –2.5 m = 2b ln (10) How do you measure brightness? Most People use Magnitudes m = –2.5 Log (flux) + C We use Luptitudes

  37. OK, but how do you measure flux? Isophotal magnitudes: What we don’t do

  38. OK, but how do we measure flux? Petrosian Radius: Surface brightness Ratio =0.2 Petrosion flux: Flux within 2 Petrosian Radii

  39. Some Other Measures PSF magnitudes Fiber magnitudes

  40. Galaxy Models • de Vaucouleurs magnitudes: • assume profile associated with ellipiticals I=I0 exp {-7.67[(r/re)1/4]} • Exponential magnitudes: • Assume profile associated with spirals I=I0 exp {-1.68(r/re)} Model magnitudes pick best

  41. Which Magnitudes to Use?

  42. Other Image Parameters • Size • Type • psfMag – expMag > 0.145 • Many hundreds of others
