Quality information in VO Catalogs

VPHAS+ DR2

We use the quality information in the cleanu, cleang, cleanr2, cleanr, cleanha,cleani flags (one for each band) provided by the VPHAS+ catalogue in Vizier.

We consider clean* = 1 as good quality. Bad otherwise. That is:

  • cleanu != 1 → Paranal/OmegaCAM.u_SDSS: bad
  • cleang != 1 → Paranal/OmegaCAM.g_SDSS: bad
  • cleani != 1 → Paranal/OmegaCAM.i_SDSS: bad
  • cleanr != 1 → Paranal/OmegaCAM.r_SDSS: bad
  • cleanr2 != 1 → Paranal/OmegaCAM.r_SDSS (2): bad
  • cleanha != 1 → Paranal/OmegaCAM.Halpha: bad

See the catalogue description in Vizier (you can also see a local copy here if the link does not work).
