Methods Documentation
- area_overlap(data, *, mask=None, method='exact', subpixels=5)#
Return the area of overlap between the data and the aperture.
This method takes into account the aperture mask method, masked data pixels (
mask
keyword), and partial/no overlap of the aperture with the data. In other words, it returns the area that used to compute the aperture sum (assuming identical inputs).Use the
area
method to calculate the exact analytical area of the aperture shape.- Parameters:
- dataarray_like or
Quantity
A 2D array.
- maskarray_like (bool), optional
A boolean mask with the same shape as
data
where aTrue
value indicates the corresponding element ofdata
is masked. Masked data are excluded from the area overlap.- method{‘exact’, ‘center’, ‘subpixel’}, optional
The method used to determine the overlap of the aperture on the pixel grid. Not all options are available for all aperture types. Note that the more precise methods are generally slower. The following methods are available:
'exact'
(default): The exact fractional overlap of the aperture and each pixel is calculated. The aperture weights will contain values between 0 and 1.'center'
: A pixel is considered to be entirely in or out of the aperture depending on whether its center is in or out of the aperture. The aperture weights will contain values only of 0 (out) and 1 (in).'subpixel'
: A pixel is divided into subpixels (see thesubpixels
keyword), each of which are considered to be entirely in or out of the aperture depending on whether its center is in or out of the aperture. Ifsubpixels=1
, this method is equivalent to'center'
. The aperture weights will contain values between 0 and 1.
- subpixelsint, optional
For the
'subpixel'
method, resample pixels by this factor in each dimension. That is, each pixel is divided intosubpixels**2
subpixels. This keyword is ignored unlessmethod='subpixel'
.
- dataarray_like or
- Returns:
- areasfloat or array_like
The area (in pixels**2) of overlap between the data and the aperture.

Notes
RectangularAperture
andRectangularAnnulus
photometry with the “exact” method uses a subpixel approximation by subdividing each data pixel by a factor of 1024 (subpixels = 32
). For rectangular aperture widths and heights in the range from 2 to 100 pixels, this subpixel approximation gives results typically within 0.001 percent or better of the exact value. The differences can be larger for smaller apertures (e.g., aperture sizes of one pixel or smaller). For such small sizes, it is recommend to setmethod='subpixel'
with a largersubpixels
size.
