Multi-band images of an IRAC-selected source (irac096525) in the [3.6],
R,
I, and
i
814 bands (from left to right and top to bottom). The size of the frames is 15'' ×15''. In the three optical bands, the flux
is measured in elliptical apertures (red) whose parameters are determined in the
R-band image. Note that, despite the different image resolutions (and multiple
HST counterparts), the accurate WCS re-centering (rms < 0
15) allows to place the aperture correctly, recovering the flux of all sources. For the IRAC bands, we use fixed circular
apertures of 2'' radius (blue) and we apply a correction to the total magnitude.
