result = readdolphot(filename, nimg, nhstfilters=nhstfilters, v2=v2)

Read the output of the DOLPHOT photometry package into easier-to- use data structures.

Return value

This function outputs an array of structures, one for each star. The structure has the following fields: extension, chip, xpos, ypos, chi, sn, sharpness, roundness, majoraxis, crowding, objtype, counts[N], background[N], magnitude[N], magerr[N], imgchi[N], imgsn[N], imgsharpness[N], imgroundness[N], imgcrowding[N], fwhm[N], ellipticity[N], PSFa[N], PSFb[N], PSFc[N], errflag[N]. If NHSTFILTERS gt 0 then magnitude[N] is replaced by instmag[N] and transfmag[N]. If /V2 is set, then fwhm[N], ellipticity[N], PSFa[N], PSFb[N] and PSFc[N] are replaced with ctcorr[N] and dctcorr[N]. N is Nimg plus NHSTFILTERS. The HST filter information comes first.

Parameters

filename in

Name of DOLPHOT output file

nimg in

Number of images

Keywords

nhstfilters in

If this is set to a number greater than 0, the output is assumed to have been generated using DOLPHOT/ACS or DOLPHOT/WFC3, and to have NHSTFILTERS photometry blocks at the beginning that give the combined results of each filter. The output is also assumed to both have instrumental and transformed magnitudes.

v2 in

If /V2 set, then read in DOLPHOT 2 output (slightly changed from version 1)
