| Merged, seamless point source catalogue derived from the UKIDSS GPS |
| This view defines a subset of point-like sources from the UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS). If your science application requires a seamless selection of sources consistently classified as point-like (i.e. stars) in the GPS then use this view. NB: as always, there is a trade-off between completeness and reliability. If completeness is more important than high reliability, then use this view since it is optimised for reasonable completeness and NOT high reliability. If a very clean, highly reliable but incomplete selection is sufficient, then use view reliableGpsPointSource. Detection is required in JHK (e.g. single passband detections will NOT appear in this view). |
