ADC_Keywords: Surveys ; Infrared sources ; Photometry, infrared Keywords: surveys - infrared: general Description: The UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) is a large-scale near-IR survey which aim is to cover 7500 square degrees of the Northern sky. The survey is carried out using the Wide Field Camera (WFCAM), with a field of view of 0.21 square degrees, mounted on the 3.8m United Kingdom Infra-red Telescope (UKIRT) in Hawaii. The project comprises five surveys (LAS, GCS, DXS, GPS and UDS). The Large Area Survey (LAS) covers an area of 4000 square degrees in high Galactic latitudes (extragalactic) in the four bands Y(1.0um) J(1.2um) H(1.6um) and K(2.2um) to a depth of K=18.4. This release 9 includes proper motions for a fraction (∼1/6) of the sources. The Galactic Clusters Survey (GCS) aims to survey ten large open star clusters and star formation associations, covering a total of 1067 square degrees in the five bands Z (0.9um), Y(1.0um) J(1.2um) H(1.6um) and K(2.2um), plus a second pass in K for proper motions, to a depth of Z=20.4, Y=20.3, J=19.5, H=18.6, K=18.6. This release 9 includes proper motions for a fraction (∼1/4) of the sources. The Deep Extragalactic Survey (DXS) aims to map 35 square degrees of sky to a 5-σ point-source sensitivity of J=22.3 and K=20.8 in four carefully selected, multi-wavelength survey areas. The central regions of each field will also be mapped to H=21.8. The primary aim of the survey is to produce a photometric galaxy sample at a redshift of 1-2, within a volume comparable to that of the SDSS, selected in the same passband (rest frame optical). Details of the surveys can be found in the in the paper by Lawrence et al. (2007MNRAS.379.1599L 2007MNRAS.379.1599L), and at the UKIDSS Surveys site (http://www.ukidss.org/surveys/surveys.html). The data described here represent a subset of the UKIDSS data, limited to the public data and most representative columns. In the "Byte-by-byte Description" below the original names of the columns are given as bracketed names. Usage of the UKIDSS data: All users of UKIDSS data should include an acknowledgement in their publications as follows: "This work is based in part on data obtained as part of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey".

The filters characteristics are (from Hewett et al. 2006MNRAS.367..454H 2006MNRAS.367..454H) -------------------------- Z 0.882 ± 0.093 µm Y 1.031 ± 0.102 µm J 1.248 ± 0.159 µm H 1.631 ± 0.292 µm K 2.201 ± 0.351 µm -------------------------- Note (G2): The profile classification takes the following values: -3 = Probable galaxy (with a probability between 70 and 90%) -2 = Probable star (with a probability between 70 and 90%) -1 = Star (with a probability ≥ 90%) 0 = Noise (with a probability ≥ 90%) +1 = Galaxy (with a probability ≥ 90%) Note (G3): count of the number of zero confidence pixels in the default (G2arcsec diameter) aperture. Note (G4): the post-processing error bits are resumed in a number defined as {Sum}2b, b being the bit number between 0 and 31. The meaning of b's is as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- b decimal hexadecimal Meaning -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 4 0x00000004 Close to a bright source (not yet implemented) 4 16 0x00000010 Deblended 6 64 0x00000040 Bad pixel(s) in default aperture 15 32768 0x00008000 Source in poor flat field region 16 65536 0x00010000 Close to saturated 17 131072 0x00020000 Photometric calibration probably subject to systematic error 19 524288 0x00080000 Possible crosstalk artefact/contamination 20 1048576 0x00100000 Possible diffraction spike contamination 22 4194304 0x00400000 Lies within a dither offset of the stacked frame boundary -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note (G5): The correct designation for UKIDSS sources is formed from the J2000 position truncated to 0.01s in right ascension and 0.1arcsec in declination: * ULAS JHHMMSS.ss+DDMMSS.s for the Large Area Survey; * UGCS JHHMMSS.ss+DDMMSS.s for the Galactic Clusters Survey * UDXS JHHMMSS.ss+DDMMSS.s for the Deep Extragalactic Survey Note (G6): This flag is derived from the original priOrSec and frameSetID attributes: * m=1 if (priOrSec=0 OR priOrSec=frameSetID) : is a primary source * m=2 if (priOrSec!=0 AND priOrSec!=frameSetID): the source has a duplicate in another frameSet.
