A source is classified as either “point-like” or “extended” by comparing its computed
semi-major axis with that of the point-spread function, both having been computed using moments.
A source is “extended” if the difference between its semi-major axis and that of the PSF
is greater than 3 times the error in the semi-major axis of the source, otherwise it is classified
as “point-like”.
