VIEW  reliableUdsSource

Reliable, but incomplete, source catalogue derived from UKIDSS UDS

This view defines a reliable subset of all sources from the UKIDSS
Ultra Deep Survey (UDS). If your application requires a
selection of reliable sources in the UDS 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 make your
sample selection from udsSource directly with appropriate predicates.
If a very clean, highly reliable selection is required, then use this
view. Selection is based on detecions in JHK (e.g. single passband
detections will NOT appear in this view).
