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). |
