It would be useful to combine photutils.detection.IRAFStarFinder
's ability to provide the fwhm of stars to the radius parameter of photutils.aperture.CircularAperture
to construct a set of apertures, which can then be processed by photutils.aperture.aperture_photometry
to yield the aperture_sum
.
Unfortunately the CircularAperture only accepts singular floats. Is there a better aperture suited for this task?
