sua2(1) General Commands Manual sua2(1) Name sua2 - Find USNO-A2.0 Catalog stars in a square on the sky Synopsis sua2 [options] ra dec system Description suac finds all of the U.S. Naval Observatory A2.0 Catalog objects in a specified region of the sky and lists their sky positions and magni- tudes in order of brightness. Output is to standard out, unless the -w flag is set, in which case it goes to objectname.uac or search.uac. It is a link to scat. Options -a list single closest catalog source -b Output B1950 (FK4) coordinates -d Sort by distance from center instead of flux -e Output ecliptic coordinates -f Output search center for other programs -g Output galactic coordinates -h Print heading, else do not -i Print catalog object name, not catalog number (=ua2_region_number) -j Output J2000 (FK5) coordinates -l Print center and closest star on one line -m [<bright magnitude>] <faint magnitude> Limiting catalog magnitude(s) (default none, bright -2 if only faint is given) -n <num> Number of brightest stars to print -o <name> Object name used to name output file -p Sort by distance from search center instead of brightness -q <years> Equinox of output positions in years -r <radius> Search box half-width in arcsec or dd:mm:ss If negative, this is a radius; if two numbers, first is in right ascension, second is in declination. (default is 10, that is a 20x20 arcsec box) -s Sort by right ascension instead of flux -t Tab table output -u <num> Print X Y instead of number in front of non-tab entry -v Verbose listing of processing intermediate results -w Write tab table output file imagename.uac -y Epoch of output positions in years See Also scat(1), susac(1), imuac(1), sgsc(1) Author Doug Mink, SAO (dmink@cfa.harvard.edu) 19 November 1999 WCS sua2(1)

imstar(1) General Commands Manual imstar(1) Name imstar - Find stars in FITS and IRAF image files Synopsis imstar [options] [FITS or IRAF filename] or [@file of image file names] Description Options <hh:mm:ss> <dd:mm:ss> [J2000, B1950] Coordinates for center (or reference pixel if -x is used). -a <angle> Image rotation angle in degrees (default 0). If multiple of 90, rotate image before search and set WCS angle to zero; if not, put in WCS. -b Output B1950 (FK4) coordinates (default=image equinox) -d <catalog name> Read this DAOFIND style catalog of X, Y, and magnitude instead of searching for stars in the image. The format is simply white- space-separated numbers on a line, with # at the beginning of comment lines. -e <num> Number of pixels to ignore around image edge -f Write a simple ASCII catalog file instead of tab table or DAOFIND format (number RA DEC mag ... per line, with two lines of header info) -h Print heading, else do not -i <num> Minimum peak value for star in image (<0=-sigma) Setting this to reject all but 10-15 stars is a good way to speed up the star-find- ing process. If num is less than zero, the minimum peak is -num image pixel standard deviations. Setting this number rejects faint stars early in the selection process for a significant saving in computing time. -j Output J2000 (FK5) coordinates (default=image equinox) -k Print each star as it is found for debugging -l Reflect the image left <-> right before rotating (-a) and searching for stars. -m <magnitude> Magnitude offset -n Number of brightest stars to print -o Output star list in DAOFIND format. The first three numbers on each line of the output file are X, Y, and magnitude, separated by one or more blanks or a tab. Lines beginning with # are ignored. -p <num> Plate scale in arcsec per pixel (default 0) -q <c|d|o|s|x|v|+> Output region file shape for SAOimage (default o) Characters mean: c>ross, d>iamond, s>quare, o>circle, x=X, v>ary with GSC type, +>cross. -r Maximum radius for star in pixels -s Sort by RA instead of flux -t Output in Starbase tab table format -v Verbose listing of processing intermediate results -w Write output to a file in addition to standard out. If DAO format (-o), create the name by adding .dao to the image file name. If Starbase format (-t), create the name by adding .tab to the image file name. If ASCII format (-f), create the name by adding .stars to the image file name. -x <X> <Y> X and Y coordinates of reference pixel (if not in header or image center) -z Use AIPS classic projection code (for "-SIN", "-TAN", "-ARC", "-NCP", "-GLS", "-MER", "-AIT" and "-STG" only) instead of WCSLIB pro- posed standard projection code.
