/**
 * 
 * This structure contains a pointer to the collection of sources which will
 * be used to test the PSF model form. It lists the pmModelType type of model
 * being tests, and contains an element to store the resulting psf
 * representation. In addition, this structure carries the complete collection of
 * FLT (floating parameter) and PSF (fixed parameter) model fits to each of the
 * sources modelFLT and modelPSF. It also contains a mask which is set by the
 * model fitting and psf fitting steps. For each model, the value of the quality
 * metric is stored in the vector metric and the fitted instrumental magnitude is
 * stored in fitMag. The quality metric for the PSF model is the aperture
 * magnitude minus the fitted magnitude for each source. This collection of
 * aperture residuals is examined in the analysis process, and a linear trend of
 * the residual with the inverse object flux (ie, 100:4his structure contains a
 * pointer to the collection of sources which will be used to test the PSF model
 * form. It lists the pmModelType type of modmag) is fitted. The result of this
 * fit is a measured sky bias (systematic error in the sky measured by the fits),
 * an effective infinite-magnitude aperture correction (ApResid), and the scatter
 * of the aperture correction for the ensemble of PSF stars (dApResid). The
 * ultimate metric to intercompare multiple types of PSF models is the value of
 * the aperture correction scatter.
 * 
 * XXX: There are many more members in the SDRS then in the prototype code.
 * I stuck with the prototype code.
