KiDS DR3 catalog table

For the multi-band source catalog released in KiDS-ESO-DR3 the table below provides information on each of the 440 included survey tile. Completeness is only given in r-band, since the catalog is based on source detection in r-band only.
The zero-point offsets from the survey photometric homogenization are also provided. Quality information is provided in the final two columns:

  • Image flag is used to indicate coadded frames that suffer from severe defects, for example reflected light; corresponds to a "C" grade in the data table
  • Phot. flag is used to indicate tiles for which no full photometric homogenization was possible (e.g. isolated tiles)
  • Phot. group indicates the group ID of the groups of contiguous tiles used during the photometric homogenization
  • Anchor flag is used to indicate the tiles that were used as photometric anchors for the u- and r-band photometric homogenization
The table can also be downloaded as ASCII comma-separated values: KiDS_DR3_catalog_table.csv.
