7.6.2 SXT_CENTER [*]

 

SXT_CENTER calculates the row (x) and column (y) of the center of the solar disk and the radius (r) of the Sun given a data cube (data) and the index structure (index). The routine performs a fit to the limbs of the image. The fit can be off by several pixels in the E/W direction for X-ray images. See the SXC database if you are interested in the X-ray center for all SFD images as calculated by SXT_CENTER.
