Sextractor


I am trying to using the catalog from SEXTRACTOR to get some information. In the process, I have to analyze the error. Then the question come... 
I using the error of magnitude first, and find that the error is under-estimated. It is assuming that the "flux_err << flux".
   MAG_ERR= FLUX_ERR /FLUX * 2.5/ln(10) 
Then, I tried to using the flux directly, but I find this:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++   NUMBER  X_IMAGE  Y_IMAGE  FLUX_ISO  FLUXERR_ISO  FLUX_ISOCOR
     1  3276.88  1658.34  0.011211  4.67943e+15  0.212761  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The FLUX_ISO is 0.011211  while FLUXERR_ISO is 4.67943e+15.
I do not know how to convert this to erg/cm^2/s/A.


PS:

(1)  Good explanation for mag_err

(2)  Good explanation for mag_err and flux_err 

Now I know it just so simple!


(2)  Good explanation for mag
