Abstract

A general method is described for estimating the position, integrated flux density and the second moments of the flux density distribution for sources in a two dimensional map. The method requires accurate knowledge of the beam shape of the telescope. Uncertainty estimates and significance levels of the source parameters are easily obtained.
