This example is from a stack sample around Abell 1656 matched to SDSS and coloured by SDSS classification (red - stars; black - galaxies). A cut in iPSFMag-iKronMag of 0.05 (shown) does a reasonable job of separating stars and galaxies. |

You can calculate this using data from the MeanObject, StackObjectThin or ForcedMeanObject tables. You might improve the separation by combining results from more than one band or using a more sophisticated cut. Note that we do not expect PSF-Kron to be exactly 0.0 for stars, as Kron magnitudes by definition require a correction to take them to total magnitudes.
...
Same sample as above, but now using log10(abs(ipsfLikelihood)) as the separator. |

moments
Either momentsR1 or KronRad can be used as a separator (KronRad is 2.5*momentsR1 so it doesn't matter which you use)(again from StackObjectAttributes or StackObjectView).
Same sample as above, now using log10(imomentR1) as the separator. |

...
You can also try momentRH, which is the NOT the half light radius, but the expectation value of r^0.5 (again from StackObjectAttributes or StackObjectView) .
Same sample as above, but now with log10(imomentRH) as the separator. |
