[daip] STFND

I wish to use the task STFND to search for sources of emission in a
field. All I want to do is search for emission from an area larger than
the synthesized beam, AND with flux/beam greater than 72 uJy/beam (3 * rms
noise).


I have two questions:

(1) CPARM(1) - threshold brightness. Is this Jy/beam?

(2) CPARM(3) - Max star area in pixels. Is a 'pixel' here the same as the
cell in IMAGR?



Regards,


Ian Pattison
