CrosstalkExtractTask

CrosstalkExtractTask measures the flux ratios between bright sources on one amplifier and the same location on the other amplifiers to look for crosstalk sources.

Processing summary

CrosstalkExtractTask runs these operations:

  1. Identifies bright sources on each amplifier.

  2. Iterates over the other amplifiers, extracting those potential targets to ensure they have the readout corner placed at the same amplifier coordinate.

  3. Measures the ratio between the background subtracted target location and the source amplifier location.
