To estimate the individual magnitudes of both components in our objects, we measured the integrated flux on the system and used a deconvolution algorithm to derive the flux ratio of the two components. From our data and using comparison with simulated binaries, the Lucy-Richardson algorithm proved to give the best results. As our sources are quite well-separated pointlike sources, we typically used about a hundred iterations, until the flux values converged. Before each deconvolution, the primary was centered on a pixel, but no subpixel resampling was applied. When the deconvolution converged, almost all the flux was concentrated in a single pixel, and the flux ratio between the two components was determined from the peak heights in the deconvolved images.
