c_img_blos : B_los HARP cutout magnetogram, corrected for limb presence and deproject.

c_img_blos : continuum HARP image, corrected for limb presence.

fit_coeff: The coefficients K₁ and K₂ for the empirical relation <B>=f(A) (see Korsós et al. 2014)

Min_size : minimum size of detected umbra (in MSH). Default equal to 0.5 (in accordance with the Debrecen Observatory limit)

Output:

g_s: The sum of the horizontal magnetic gradient according to Korsos & Erdelyi (2016)

slf: the seperation distance

d_l_f: the distance between leading and following

weight_cent: the weighted centroid

lead_cent: weighted centroid of the leading subgroup

foll_Cent: weighet centroid of the following subgroup

Property name in DB:
