Name | Type | Length | Unit | Description | Default Value | Unified Content Descriptor |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
designation | varchar | 20 | Sexagesimal, equatorial position-based source name in the form: hhmmss.ss+ddmmss.s. The full naming convention for AllWISE Source Catalog sources has the form "WISEA Jhhmmss.ss+ddmmss.s," where "WISEA" indicates the source is from the AllWISE Source Catalog, and "J" indicates the position is J2000. The "WISEA" acronym is not listed explicitly in the designation column. The acronym for entries in the AllWISE Reject Table is "WISEAR". CAUTION: Source designations should not be used as an astrometric reference. They are not a substitute for the source position information in the ra and dec columns. | |||
ra | float | 8 | deg | J2000 right ascension with respect to the 2MASS PSC reference frame from the non-moving source extraction. | ||
dec | float | 8 | deg | J2000 declination with respect to the 2MASS PSC reference frame from the non-moving source extraction. | ||
sigra | float | 8 | arcsec | One-sigma uncertainty in right ascension coordinate from the non-moving source extraction. | ||
sigdec | float | 8 | arcsec | One-sigma uncertainty in declination coordinate from the non-moving source extraction. | ||
sigradec | float | 8 | arcsec | The co-sigma of the equatorial position uncertainties, sigra, sigdec (σα, σδ). The covariance between the position errors, Vαδ, can be derived from the quoted co-sigma, σαδ, by the formula Vαδ = σαδ×|σαδ|. This maintains the sign information for the covariance since σαδ may be negative. It is more natural to carry the co-sigma along with the other uncertainties instead of the covariance because the former is in the same units as the other uncertainties. | ||

na | int | 4 | Active deblending flag. Indicates if a single detection was split into multiple sources in the process of profile-fitting: 0 - the source is not actively deblended; 1 - the source is actively deblended. | |||
w1sat | float | 8 | Saturated pixel fraction, W1. The fraction of all pixels within the profile-fitting area in the stack of single-exposure images used to characterize this source that are flagged as saturated. A value larger than 0.0 indicates one or more pixels of saturation. Saturation begins to occur for point sources brighter than [W1]~8 mag. Saturation may occur in fainter sources because of charged particle strikes, or if the source is covered by 3-Band Cryo single-exposures that began to saturate because of rising temperatures. | |||
w2sat | float | 8 | Saturated pixel fraction, W2. The fraction of all pixels within the profile-fitting area in the stack of single-exposure images used to characterize this source that are flagged as saturated. A value larger than 0.0 indicates one or more pixels of saturation. Saturation begins to occur for point sources brighter than [W2]~7 mag. Saturation may occur in fainter sources because of charged particle strikes. | |||
w3sat | float | 8 | Saturated pixel fraction, W3. The fraction of all pixels within the profile-fitting area source in the stack of single-exposure images used to characterize this source that are flagged as saturated. A value larger than 0.0 indicates one or more pixels of saturation. Saturation begins to occur for point sources brighter than [W3]~4 mag.

Saturation may occur in fainter sources because of charged particle strikes. | |||
satnum | varchar | 4 | Minimum sample at which saturation occurs in each band. Four character string, one character per band, that indicates the minimum SUTR sample in which any pixel in the profile-fitting area in all of the single-exposure images used to characterize this source was flagged as having reached the saturation level in the on-board WISE payload processing. If no pixels in a given band are flagged as saturated, the value for that band is "0". | |||
ra_pm | float | 8 | deg | Right ascension at epoch MJD=55400.0 (2010.5589) from the profile-fitting measurement model that includes motion. This column is null if the fit failed to converge or was not attempted. NOTE: This will be similar but not identical to the value of ra which is the measured right ascenscion of the source from the non-moving profile-fit. | ||
dec_pm | float | 8 | deg | Declination at epoch MJD=55400.0 (2010.5589) from the profile-fitting measurement model that includes motion.

sigra_pm | float | 8 | arcsec | One-sigma uncertainty in right ascension from the profile-fitting measurement model that includes motion. This column is null if the motion-fit failed to converge or was not attempted. | ||
sigdec_pm | float | 8 | arcsec | One-sigma uncertainty in declination from the profile-fitting measurement model that includes motion. This column is null if the motion-fit failed to converge or was not attempted. | ||
sigradec_pm | float | 8 | arcsec | The co-sigma of the equatorial position uncertainties from the profile-fitting measurement model that includes motion, sigra_pm, sigdec_pm (σα_pm, σδ_pm). The covariance between the position errors, Vα_pmδ_pm, can be derived from the quoted co-sigma, σα_pmδ_pm, by the formula α_pmδ_pm = σα_pmδ_pm×|σα_pmδ_pm|. This maintains the sign information for the covariance since σα_pmδ_pm may be negative. It is more natural to carry the co-sigma along with the other uncertainties instead of the covariance because the former is in the same units as the other uncertainties. This column is null if the motion-fit failed to converge or was not attempted. | ||
pmra | int | 4 | mas/year | The apparent motion in right ascension estimated for this source. This column is null if the motion fit failed to converge or was not attempted. CAUTION: This is the total motion in right ascension, and not the proper motion. The apparent motion can be significantly affected by parallax for nearby objects. | ||
sigpmra | int | 4 | mas/year | Uncertainty in the RA motion estimation. This column is null if the motion fit failed to converge or was not attempted. | ||
pmdec | int | 4 | mas/year | The apparent motion in declination estimated for this source. This column is null if the motion fit failed to converge or was not attempted. CAUTION: This is the total motion in declination, and not the proper motion. The apparent motion can be significantly affected by parallax for nearby objects. | ||

w1rchi2_pm | real | 4 | Reduced χ2 of the W1 profile-fit photometry measurement including motion estimation. This column is null if the source is not detected in W1, or if the motion fit failed to converge or was not attempted. | |||

rchi2_pm | real | 4 | Combined reduced χ2 in all bands for the profile-fit photometry measurement that includes source motion. This column is null if the motion fit failed to converge or was not attempted. | |||
pmcode | varchar | 5 | This is a five character string that encodes information about factors that impact the accuracy of the motion estimation. These include the original blend count, whether a blend-swap took place, and the distance in hundredths of an arcsecond between the non-motion position and the motion mean-observation-epoch position. This column is null if a motion solution was not attempted or a valid solution was not found. | |||
cc_flags | varchar | 4 | Contamination and confusion flag. Four character string, one character per band [W1/W2/W3/W4], that indicates that the photometry and/or position measurements of a source may be contaminated or biased due to proximity to an image artifact. CAUTION: Non-zero cc_flags values in any band indicate the the measurement in that band may be contaminated and the photometry should be used with caution. | |||
rel | varchar | 1 | Small-separation, same-Tile (SSST) detection flag. Non-null values of this flag indicate that this Catalog/Reject Table entry is part of a group of detections with unphysically small separations that were extracted on the same Tile. SSST groups occurred when a faint, often spurious noise detection was shifted towards the position of a brighter nearby source during the chi-squared minimization profile-fit source extraction process. This resulted in two or more extractions on the same Tile that have nearly the same position and similar fluxes. SSST groups were identified and classified using the rel flag, and the classifications are used as part of Catalog source selection. | |||
ext_flg | int | 4 | Extended source flag. This is an integer flag, the value of which indicates whether or not the morphology of a source is consistent with the WISE point spread function in any band, or whether the source is associated with or superimposed on a previously known extended object from the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC). CAUTION: WISE profile-fit (w?mpro) and standard aperture (w?mag) measurements are optimized for point sources and will systematically underestimate the true flux of resolved objects. If a source entry has ext_flg>0, you may wish to examine the large aperture photometry, or the elliptical aperture photometry which are measured using areas that are scaled from 2MASS XSC morphologies. | |||
var_flg | varchar | 4 | Variability flag. The variability flag is a four-character string, one character per band, in which the value for each band is related to the probability that the source flux measured on the individual WISE exposures was not constant with time. The probability calculation uses the standard deviation of the single exposure flux measurements, w?sigp1, as well as the band-to-band flux correlation significance, q12,q23,q34. CAUTION: Estimation of flux variability is unreliable for sources that are extended (ext_flg>0), and sources whose measurements are contaminated by image artifacts in a band (cc_flags[b] != '0'). | |||
ph_qual | varchar | 4 | Photometric quality flag. Four character flag, one character per band [W1/W2/W3/W4], that provides a shorthand summary of the quality of the profile-fit photometry measurement in each band, as derived from the measurement signal-to-noise ratio. | |||
det_bit | int | 4 | Bit-encoded integer indicating bands in which a source has a w?snr>2 detection. For example, a source detected in W1 only has det_bit=1 (binary 0001). A source detected in W4 only has det_bit=8 (binary 1000). A source detected in all four bands has det_bit=15 (binary 1111). | |||
moon_lev | varchar | 4 | Scattered moonlight contamination flag. This is a four-character string, one character per band, in which the value is an integer indicates the fraction of single-exposure frames on which the source was measured that were possibly contaminated by scattered moonlight. The value in each band is given by [ceiling(#frmmoon/#frames*10)], with a maximum value of 9, where #frmmoon is the number of affected frames and #frames is the total number of frames on which the source was measured. | |||
w1nm | int | 4 | Integer frame detection count. This column gives the number of individual 7.7s exposures on which this source was detected with SNR>3 in the W1 profile-fit measurement. This number can be zero for sources that are well-detected on the coadded Atlas Image, but too faint for detection on the single exposures. | |||
w1m | int | 4 | Integer frame coverage. This column gives the number of individual 7.7s W1 exposures on which a profile-fit measurement of this source was possible. This number can differ between the four bands because band-dependent criteria are used to select individual frames for inclusion in the coadded Atlas Images. This column is null if there is no frame coverage in this band at the position of this source. CAUTION: The value of w1m may be lower than expected for sources that were covered by saturated 3-Band Cryo single-exposures. A sign of this is if w1m differs significantly from w1cov. | |||

w3m | int | 4 | Integer frame coverage. This column gives the number of individual 8.8s W3 exposures on which a profile-fit measurement of this source was possible.

Lower-case letters denote cases where the source detection in this band is believed to be real but the measurement may be contaminated by the artifact. upper-case letters denote cases where the source detection in this band may be a spurious detection of an artifact. This string is "null" if there are no artifacts that affect the measurement in this band. The value that appears in first element of the cc_flags string is the left-most character in w1cc_map_str.

best_use_cntr | bigint | 8 | Cntr identification value of the source extraction that was selected as a candidate Catalog source in the duplicate resolution process for the group of associated sources that included this extraction. For the AllWISE Source Catalog, best_use_cntr = cntr. For the AllWISE Reject Table, best_use_cntr may be the cntr value of a corresponding source in the AllWISE Source Catalog. | |||
ngrp | smallint | 2 | Excess number of positionally associated duplicate resolution groups in which this extractions was included. Values of ngrp>0 indicate that the source was associated with more than one possible group. CAUTION: In the All-Sky Release Catalog and 3-Band Cryo Source Working Database, this column indicated the total number of groups with which a source was associated.
