MACSJ0416.1-2403 Photometry
This repository contains the most important tools and codes to perform the photometric analysis of galaxy cluster MACSJ0416.1-2403. This project corresponds to my bachelor's thesis project at Universidad de Concepción, Chile.
Collaborators
My supervisors professors were Dr. Ricardo Demarco (Universidad de Concepción, Chile) and Dr. Daniela Olave-Rojas (Universidad de Talca, Chile). During the years I also received help from my undergraduate partners Ian Baeza and Diego Salvador, Master studentes at Universidad de Concepción, Chile.
Project Timeline
The project is divided into several steps:
0. Download the data, software and tools
1. Image reduction and calibration
2. Astrometric Calibration
3. Photometric Calibration
4. Limiting magnitudes and comparison with literature
5. Characteristic luminosity
Software
For this work we need typical and specific astronomical and coding programas like IRAF, Python, DS9, SEXtractor, SCAMP, Anaconda, TOPCAT, etc.
