💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet imua2 — she's here to Find USNO-A2.0 stars in FITS or IRAF image files. that's the whole assignment. no notes. 💫

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

imua2 [options] FITS or IRAF file(s)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's what she actually does: she searches the USNO-A2.0 Catalog inside the area that the world coordinate system in an image header describes. 🔭✨

and the plot twist you need to know — imua2 is not her own separate executable. she is a link to imcat. same girl, different name on the door, iykyk. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -b [<RA> <Dec>] — output in B1950, plus an optional new image center in B1950 (FK4) RA and Dec 🩷
  • -h — print heading, else do not. no-heading energy, we respect it.
  • -j [<RA> <Dec>] — output in J2000, plus an optional new image center in J2000 (FK5) RA and Dec ✨
  • -m [<bright magnitude>] <faint magnitude> — limiting catalog magnitude(s). default is none, and if you only hand her the faint one, bright gets -2 🌟
  • -n <num> — number of brightest stars to print 👑
  • -p <scale> — initial plate scale in arcsec per pixel (default 0) 📏
  • -s — sort by RA instead of flux 🔀
  • -t — tab table to standard output as well as file
  • -u — USNO catalog single plate number to accept
  • -v — verbose listing of processing intermediate results, aka the full tea 🍵
  • -w — write tab table output file imagename.cat
  • -z — use AIPS classic projections instead of WCSLIB; use CD matrix or CDELT instead of polynomial solution.

💖 OPTIONS (the sequel, and yes she's doing it again) 💖

  • -b [<RA> <Dec>] — output B1950 (FK4) coordinates (optional center) 🩷
  • -u <plate> — accept only stars from this plate (default all)
  • -h — print heading, else do not
  • -j [<RA> <Dec>] — output J2000 (FK5) coordinates (optional center) ✨
  • -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 👑
  • -p <scale> — plate scale in arcsec per pixel (default 0) 📏
  • -s — sort by RA instead of flux 🔀
  • -t — tab table to standard output as well as file
  • -u <plate> — accept only stars from this plate (default all) — yes, -u showed up twice, she contains multitudes 💀
  • -v — verbose listing of processing intermediate results
  • -w — write tab table output file imagename.uac
ngl bestie, notice that -w writes imagename.uac down here but imagename.cat up above, and -u takes <plate> here but no argument up there. that's just how the page reads. not me editorializing, just saying it out loud. 🙈
