22465 1 Note (5): Three character flag, one character per band [JHK],
22465 2 thatvides a summary of the nhe net quality of the default photometry
22465 3 in each band, as derived from the Read Flag (Rflg), measurement
22465 4 uncenties ([jhk]cmsig), scanscan signal-to-noise ratios ([jhk]snr),
22465 5 framtection statistics (NdetNdet), and profile-fit reduced chi-squared
22465 6 values ([jhk]psfchi). The value for Qflg is set for a band
22465 7 accog to the precedence of tof the table below. For example, a source
22465 8 thattested and meets the con conditions for category "X" is not tested
22465 9 for subsequent qualities.
22465 10
22465 11 X = There is a detection at this location, but no valid brightness22465 12 estimate can be extracted using any algorithm. Rflg="9" and
22465 13 default magnitude is null.
22465 14
22465 15 U = r limit on magnitude. So. Source is not detected in this band
22465 16 (Rflg="0"), or it is detected, but not resolved in a consistent
22465 17 fashion with other bands (Rflg="6"). A value of Qflg="U"
22465 18 does not necessarily mean that there is no flux detected in this
22465 19 band at the location. Whether or not flux has been detected can
22465 20 be determined from the value of Rflg. When Rflg="0", no flux
22465 21 has been detected. When Rflg="6", flux has been detected at the
22465 22 location where the images were not deblended consistently in all
22465 23 three bands (JHKs).
22465 24
22465 25 F = This category includes Rflg="1" or Rflg="3" sources where a
22465 26 reliable estimate of the photometric error, [jhk]cmsig, could
22465 27 not be determined. The uncertainties reported for these sources
22465 28 in [jhk]cmsig and e_[jhk]mag are flags and have numeric
22465 29 values >8.0.
22465 30
22465 31 E = This category includes detections where the goodness-of-fit
22465 32 quality of the profile-fit photometry was very poor (Rflg=2 and
22465 33 [jhk]psfchi>10.0), or detections where psf fit photometry did
22465 34 not converge and an aperture magnitude is reported (Rflg=4), or
22465 35 detections where the number of frames was too small in relation
22465 36 to the number of frames in which a detection was geometrically
22465 37 possible (Rflg="1" or Rflg="2").
22465 38
22465 39 A = ctions in any brightnessness regime where valid measurements
22465 40 were made (Rflg="1","2" or "3") with
22465 41 [jhk]snr>10 AND [jhk]cmsig<0.10857.
22465 42
22465 43 B = ctions in any brightnessness regime where valid measurements
22465 44 were made (Rflg="1","2" or "3") with
22465 45 [jhk]snr>7 AND [jhk]cmsig<0.15510.
22465 46
22465 47 C = ctions in any brightnessness regime where valid measurements
22465 48 were made (Rflg="1","2" or "3") with
22465 49 [jhk]snr>5 AND [jhk]cmsig<0.21714.
22465 50
22465 51 D = ctions in any brightnessness regime where valid measurements
22465 52 were made (Rflg="1","2" or "3") with
22465 53 no [jhk]snr OR [jhk]cmsig requirement.
