Summary
Aperture Photometry
is a
Technique used in astronomy
to
Measure the brightness of celestial objects
by
Summing the pixel values
within a
Defined aperture
around the object and subtracting the
Background Noise
. It is widely used for its
Simplicity and effectiveness
in
Analyzing point sources
like stars, especially in
Crowded fields
where precision is crucial.
