            can cause a rectangular pixel grid to map into a non "rectangular" spherical
            region in sky coordinates. This padding is used to create a spherical
            "rectangle", which will for sure enclose the input box.  This padding is only
            used to determine if the reference catalog for a sky patch will be loaded from
            the data store, this function will filter out objects which lie within the
            padded region but fall outside the input bounding box region.

    Abstract base class for tasks that load objects from a reference catalog
    in a particular region of the sky.
 
    Implementations must subclass this class, override the loadSkyCircle method,
    and will typically override the value of ConfigClass with a task-specific config class.

    @section meas_algorithms_loadReferenceObjects_Schema       Schema of the reference object catalog
 
    Reference object catalogs are instances of lsst.afw.table.SimpleCatalog with the following schema
    (other fields may also be present).
    The units use astropy quantity conventions, so a 2 suffix means squared.
    See also makeMinimalSchema.
    - coord: ICRS position of star on sky (an lsst.geom.SpherePoint)
    - centroid: position of star on an exposure, if relevant (an lsst.afw.Point2D)
    - hasCentroid: is centroid usable? (a Flag)
    - *referenceFilterName*_flux: brightness in the specified reference catalog filter (nJy)
        Note: you can use astropy.units to convert from AB Magnitude to nJy:
            `u.Magnitude(value, u.ABmag).to_value(u.nJy)`
    - *referenceFilterName*_fluxErr (optional): brightness standard deviation (nJy);
        omitted if no data is available; possibly nan if data is available for some objects but not others
    - camFlux: brightness in default camera filter (nJy); omitted if defaultFilter not specified
    - camFluxErr: brightness standard deviation for default camera filter;
        omitted if defaultFilter not specified or standard deviation not available that filter
    - *cameraFilterName*_camFlux: brightness in specified camera filter (nJy)
    - *cameraFilterName*_camFluxErr (optional): brightness standard deviation
        in specified camera filter (nJy); omitted if no data is available;
        possibly nan if data is available for some objects but not others
    - photometric (optional): is the object usable for photometric calibration? (a Flag)
    - resolved (optional): is the object spatially resolved? (a Flag)
    - variable (optional): does the object have variable brightness? (a Flag)
    - coord_raErr: uncertainty in `coord` along the direction of right ascension (radian, an Angle)
                    = uncertainty in ra * cos(dec); nan if unknown
    - coord_decErr: uncertainty in `coord` along the direction of declination (radian, an Angle);
        nan if unknown
 
    The following are optional; fields should only be present if the
    information is available for at least some objects.
    Numeric values are `nan` if unknown:
    - epoch: date of observation as TAI MJD (day)
 
    - pm_ra: proper motion along the direction of right ascension (rad/year, an Angle) = dra/dt * cos(dec)
    - pm_dec: proper motion along the direction of declination (rad/year, and Angle)
    - pm_raErr: uncertainty in `pm_ra` (rad/year)
    - pm_decErr: uncertainty in `pm_dec` (rad/year)
    - pm_ra_dec_Cov: covariance between pm_ra and pm_dec (rad2/year2)
    - pm_flag: set if proper motion, error or covariance is bad
 
    - parallax: parallax (rad, an Angle)
    - parallaxErr: uncertainty in `parallax` (rad)
    - parallax_flag: set if parallax value or parallaxErr is bad
 
    - coord_ra_pm_ra_Cov: covariance between coord_ra and pm_ra (rad2/year)
    - coord_ra_pm_dec_Cov: covariance between coord_ra and pm_dec (rad2/year)
    - coord_ra_parallax_Cov: covariance between coord_ra and parallax (rad2/year)
    - coord_dec_pm_ra_Cov: covariance between coord_dec and pm_ra (rad2/year)
    - coord_dec_pm_dec_Cov: covariance between coord_dec and pm_dec (rad2/year)
    - coord_dec_parallax_Cov: covariance between coord_dec and parallax (rad2/year)
    - pm_ra_parallax_Cov: covariance between pm_ra and parallax (rad2/year)
    - pm_dec_parallax_Cov: covariance between pm_dec and parallax (rad2/year)
