Archives of Photographic PLates for Astronomical USE

Extracted sources with calibrated positions and magnitudes (applause_dr4.source_calib)

The table has 4028101537 rows, 49 columns.

Description

Sources with calibrated magnitudes by pyplate. For calibration a crossmatch of UCAC4 and APASS was used. Catalog identifiers are given, together with match quality indicators, when a match in those cataclogs has been indentified. The magnitude calibration uses the values of the phot_* tables. Unique Identifier source_id
