Starfinder: a code for crowded stellar fields analysis

Astrophysics 2019-08-17 v1

Abstract

Starfinder is an IDL code for the deep analysis of stellar fields, designed for well-sampled images with high and low Strehl factor. An important feature is represented by the possibility to measure the anisoplanatic effect in wide-field Adaptive Optics observations and exploit this knowledge to improve the analysis of the observed field. A description of the method and applications to real AO data are presented.
