8.1.4.4 MakeProfiles log file ¶

Besides the final merged dataset of all the profiles, or the individual datasets (see MakeProfiles output dataset), if the --log option is called MakeProfiles will also create a log file in the current directory (where you run MockProfiles). See Common options for a full description of --log and other options that are shared between all Gnuastro programs. The values for each column are explained in the first few commented lines of the log file (starting with # character). Here is a more complete description.

• An ID (row number of profile in input catalog).
• The total magnitude of the profile in the output dataset. When the profile does not completely overlap with the output dataset, this will be different from your input magnitude.
• The number of pixels (in the oversampled image) which used Monte Carlo integration and not the central pixel value, see Sampling from a function.
• The fraction of flux in the Monte Carlo integrated pixels.
• If an individual image was created, this column will have a value of 1, otherwise it will have a value of 0.
