I’m currently using the object catalog in EDP2, particularly the light curves in objectForcedSource. I’m a bit confused because some objects have ~40 epochs in their light curves, with ~30 filled psfMag values, but most of the points have an empty/NaN psfMagErr. For example, objectId: 756398235370674612 has 44 epochs in its light curve, 24 of the psfMag values are null, and 40 of the psfMagErr values are null. None of these observations are flagged, so I was wondering what this means — are these observations still reliable? Thank you!
Hi @scharney, thanks for the question. I was unable to reproduce the issue. In the FourcedSource DP2 catalog for objectId= 756398235370674612, I see 46 measurements with no null entries for psfFlux or psfFluxErr using the Portal ADQL query:
SELECT objectId,visit,detector,band,psfFlux,psfFluxErr,psfDiffFlux,psfDiffFluxErr
FROM dp2.ForcedSource
WHERE (objectId =756398235370674612).
