Notes on Flux Columns in the SAS 39 batches and PSPS tables

back up

ObjectThin

No fluxes or magnitudes

Detection

Fluxes are in adu / sec Also: KronRadius and apRadius both appear to be in pixels. The schema browser page says that KronRadius is in pixels but apRadius is in arcsec

Similarly the fwhm values look to be in pixels schema says arcsec.

StackObjectThin

Has magnitudes not fluxes.

StackObjectAttributes

The following are in adu/sec

xPSFFlux xKronFlux xApFlux

StackPetrosian

schema browser says units for xpetMag is Jy but the Description calls the column "PetrosianFlux" The values show that it has been converted to a Pogson magnitude.

StackApFlx (and the !GalCon6 and !GalCon8 versions)

Flux columns have been converted to Jy

StackModelFit tables

Has magnitudes not fluxes. Are the radii in pixels or arcsec? Sersic radius appears to be arcsec. Check. Also the Sersic index values look funny. The range of values is 0 to 1. Should be 0 to 4 or so.

ForcedWarpMeasurement

Fluxes are in Jy

ForcedMeanObject

Fluxes are in Jy Schema browser units are AB magnitude Description says things like "robust mean g psf AB magnitude ..."

the various FluxStd columns (stdev?) look like they are in ADU based on the range of values.

DiffDetection

Fluxes are in adu
