Catalogs

CFC produces three types of catalogs:

SExtractor catalogs in plane text format with (.cat) termination.

CFC catalogs with informaton about diffrent parameters of each accepted source in the image.

CFC catalogs with informaton about diffrent parameters of each source (accepted sources and saturated or artifacts) in the image. This catalogs are named with the suffix sources.

The catalogs parameters are:

Parameter Description
Image_identifier Image identifier in CAHA archives
Detection_ID Object identifier in catalog
MJD Modified Julian Date of image
SNR_WIN signal-noise ratio
RAJ2000 Right ascension in degrees
DEJ2000 Declination in degrees
e_RAJ2000 Uncertainty of right ascension in degrees
e_DEJ2000 Uncertainty of declination in degrees
RA_hms Right ascension in hh:mm:ss format
DE_dms Declination in dd:mm:ss format
MAG Calibrated magnitude
e_MAG Uncertainty in calibrated magnitude
MAG_sex SExtractor PSF magnitude
e_MAG_sex Uncertainty in SExtractor PSF magnitude
cl_SDSS SDSS class, only for object in SDSS field
SPREAD_MODEL Value of Sextractor SPREAD_MODEL
flag_calib flag of the calibration curve, if the value is A, the magnitude of the object is within the calibration curve, if it is B it is less and if it is C it is greater than the calibration curve magnitudes
Filter Filter of the image
Elongation Value of the object elongation
FWHM Value of the object Full Weight half maximum
source_type Type of object between accepted, saturated and artifacts (only for _sources catalogs).
FLAGS The FLAGS value obtained by SExtractor.
FLAGS_WEIGHT The FLAGS_WEIGHT value obtained by SExtractor.
FLUX_AUTO SExtractor AUTO flux
FLUXERR_AUTO Uncertainty in SExtractor AUTO flux
MAG_AUTO SExtractor AUTO magnitude
MAGERR_AUTO Uncertainty in SExtractor AUTO magnitude

Figures

CFC returns some figures about the calibration process for each image.

These figures are:

The FLUX_MAX vs FLUX_PSF curve (shown in previous section) where the saturated sources have red color, rejected sources with a excessively large FLUX_MAX/FLUX_PSF relation have blue color, accepted sources as real sources well measured have green color.

The SDSS magnitude vs MAG_SEX curve with the calibration relation (shown in previous section), sources with bad morphology parameters have black color, sources excluded by a sigma clipping or without class=6 & qmode=1 if the is in SDSS field have blue color, accepted sources for the calibration have red color.

The SDSS magnitude substracted by calibrated magnitude vs SDSS magnitude scatter plot and histogram.

Logout

CFC produces a data table with the calibration parameters for each image and if its image was calibretad or rejected because its Pearson r parameter was lower than 0.98.

These calibration parameters are:

Parameter Description
Image name Name of the image
number of sources Number of sources used for the calibration
Reference catalog Catalog used to calibrate magnitudes, it can be SDSS or APASS
A Zeropoint of the calibration curve in magnitudes
e_A Uncertainty of the zeropoint of the calibration curve in magnitudes
B Slope of the calibration curve
e_B Uncertainty of the slope of the calibration curve
r Pearson correlation coefficient
Status Status of the image, if the status is calibrated a corresponding catalog was maked
Reason Reason for the rejection of the catalog, if the status is calibrated the box will be empty
