Masking Algorithm for CCD Bleeding in Korea Microlensing Telescope Network Images

Jiseop Shin, Mankeun Jeong, Myungshin Im +3

Astronomical CCD images are often affected by bleeding from bright sources, producing column-aligned streaks that degrade source detection and photometry. We present a pixel-level…
