Optimized SExtractor parameters for dwarf galaxy detection.

Parameter Value

DETECT_MINAREA 16
DETECT_THRESH 2.0σ
DEBLEND_NTHRESH 16
DEBLEND_MINCONT 0.0001
BACK_SIZE 12
BACK_FILTERSIZE 11
BACKPHOTO_TYPE GLOBAL

Notes. This parameter set is sensitive to faint extended objects but many more unresolved objects are found. Photometric output parameters are reliable in general, but individual outliers of up to 0.5  mag between input and recovered magnitude can occur due to the rather extreme setting of background determination.
