Hyper flux estimation for the injected test source (Fig. 2) using different polynomial fits to model the background.

Polynomial Hyper flux Difference rms
order (Jy) (%) (mJy)

1 1.451 73 11.2
2 1.075 28 7.6
3 1.062 26 7.3
4 1.003 19 6.8

Notes. The reference flux of the injected source is 0.840 Jy. The fourth-order polynomial improves the flux estimation up to 55% with respect to the first-order polynomial. Also the residual background rms around the source is lower in the fourth-order polynomial approximation of the background.
