Taking into account photometry that is possibly contaminated
I checked the librarian
module and the catalog cross-matching is based on position. Given Gaia sources, can the Librarian
class include a logic where a given photometry is excluded (or at least flagged) if there is any unresolved sources near the target? Right now, my heuristic is re-run ariadne until I discarded all photometries that deviate too much e.g. >3-sigma from the best-fit SED.
I had planned on doing some sort of further quality check on the photometry but haven't gotten around to it. If you have an idea of how I could identify unresolved targets near the actual target, I'd be happy to hear it!
I don't have a specific solution but today I came across this paper (See Sec 2 & 3.1) which discusses how they take into account contamination in cross-matching.
