KiDS DR3 data table

For the 292 survey tiles newly released in KiDS-ESO-DR3 the table below provides information on each observation (central RA and DEC (degrees), filter, date and time at start of observation), on the coadded image (average PSF FWHM and ellipticity, limiting magnitude (5σ in 2'' aperture), and effective gain), and on the single-band source list (98% completeness magnitude). The final "Grade" column gives the overall quality grade of the coadded image, with "A" meaning excellent image quality, "B" meaning the image quality might be affected to some extent in small parts of the FOV, and "C" indicating that >25% of the image is severely compromised and the relevant data should be treated with extra care.
The table can also be downloaded as ASCII comma-separated values: KiDS_DR3_tile_table.csv.

Note: for the observations released previously please see the DR1 data table and the DR2 data table. The catalog table provides information on all tiles included in the DR3 multi-band catalog.
