TABLE  combo17CDFSSource

Contains the parameters provided for each source in the Chandra Deep Field South source catalogue from COMBO-17.

This table contains brief descriptions of the parameters provided for
each source in the catalogue of the Chandra Deep Field South with
multi-colour classification and photometric redshifts from COMBO-17.
The table contains positions, flags and flux measurements in UBVRI and
12 optical medium-band filters. In addition, multi-colour classification,
photometric redshifts, luminosity distances and a number of absolute
restframe magnitudes in different filters (Johnson, Sloan, Bessell) are
included as well.
