Photometric measurements
Isophotal magnitudes: pixel values are integrated
within a given isophote
§ Fast and simple
§ Consistent with the idea that sources are uniquely defined by a
list of pixels
§ Reasonably robust to contamination by close neighbours
§ Fairly efficient in terms of signal-to-noise
§ Strongly biased against faint and low-surface brightness sources
§ Unless the limiting isophote is very low, or a Monte-Carlo model
is available for comparison, should be used for rough magnitude
estimates only
