The FLS extragalactic component
E. FLS Data Products
Finally, the workshop considered which FLS data products would be most
useful in an early release for scientists planning to use SIRTF. The
recommended wish-list is:
-
A "high-reliability" source list giving positions, flux
densities, and their uncertainties, plus variability
indicators and data-quality flags
-
Band-merging information so that sources in different
SIRTF wavebands can be associated with each other and
with objects found in the ancillary surveys
-
individual frames should be available to users, plus
-
mosaiced, coadded images on a "best effort" basis
-
tools to view all bands (SIRTF and anciallary) near
a given position on the sky
They should be released as soon as possible, even though the calibration
may still have large uncertainties and be subject to later revision.
