| Abstract: |
The Euclid satellite is an ESA mission scheduled for launch in September 2023. To optimally perform critical stages of the data reduction, such as object
detection and morphology determination, a new and modern software package was required. We have developed SourceXtractor++ as open source software for detecting
and measuring sources in astronomical images. It is a complete redesign of the original
SExtractor, written mainly in C++. The package follows a modular approach and
facilitates the analysis of multiple overlapping sources over many images with different pixel grids. SourceXtractor++ is already operational in many areas of the Euclid
processing, and we demonstrate here the capabilities of the current version v0.19 on the
basis of a set of typical use cases, which are available for download. |
