Allow aperture photometry in SE++ no-detection mode #581

Open mkuemmel opened 1 month ago

mkuemmel commented 1 month ago

In https://github.com/astrorama/SourceXtractorPlusPlus/discussions/575#discussioncomment-9011672 a user asked whether it is possible to have aperture photometry and auto photometry in the no-detection mode.

We discussed it this morning. auto photometry is a no go due to the dependence on parameters (kron radius) measured on the detection image.

Aperture photometry should be possible but we have not tried it out so far.

We will do so and report in this ticket.
