    1919Some notes on what this database contains:
    2020
    21  * all 3pi data taken since the start of demo month (2010/2/12) through the start of April (2011/4/1)
     21 * all^1^ 3pi data taken since the start of demo month (2010/2/12) through the start of April (2011/4/1)
    2222 * 2MASS detections matched to all objects
    2323 * average fields for grizy and JHK (eg, avextract g i J K would work)
     
    2626 * average magnitudes use a weighted mean, and skip detections that have PSF_QF < 0.85 (excessively masked objects).  there is no iterative clipping, however.
    2727
     28^1^ a caveat regarding coverage: there seem to be some gaps that do not correspond to known gaps in the data taken. 
     29
    2830In addition, there are 4 bit flags available in the average table for
    2931each object to give a hint at quality and extendedness:
    3032
    31 * for all PS1 detections, the detection is considered 'extended' if (mag_psf - mag_ap > 0.5)
    32 * if the number of 'extended detections' exceeds the number of 'psf-like' detections, the object is flagged as "PS1 extended" (objflag & 0x01000000)
    33 * if any of the detections have PSF_QF  > 0.85, then the object is considered "PS1 good" (objflag & 0x04000000)
    34 * similarly, if the 2MASS J-band flags indicate the source is extended, the object is considered "2MASS extended" (objflag & 0x02000000)
    35 * if the 2MASS J-band detection is significant (**), the source is considered "2MASS good" (objflag & 0x08000000)
    36 
    37 ** A significant 2MASS source means their field ph_qual is one of the 3 classes A, B, or C, which means the source is > 5 sigma and has some quality limits. 
     33 * for all PS1 detections, the detection is considered 'extended' if (mag_psf - mag_ap > 0.5)
     34 * if the number of 'extended detections' exceeds the number of 'psf-like' detections, the object is flagged as "PS1 extended" (objflag & 0x01000000)
     35 * if any of the detections have PSF_QF  > 0.85, then the object is considered "PS1 good" (objflag & 0x04000000)
     36 * similarly, if the 2MASS J-band flags indicate the source is extended, the object is considered "2MASS extended" (objflag & 0x02000000)
     37 * if the 2MASS J-band detection is significant (**), the source is considered "2MASS good" (objflag & 0x08000000)
     38  * A significant 2MASS source means their field ph_qual is one of the 3 classes A, B, or C, which means the source is > 5 sigma and has some quality limits.
