Parameters that are used to select the sample of UDG candidates.

Parameter	Requirement	Total discarded^a	Unique discarded^b

⟨ μ(r,r_eff) ⟩	≥24.0 mag arcsec^-2	19 328	4043
⟨ μ(r,r_eff) ⟩	≤26.5 mag arcsec^-2	15 399	604
r _eff	≥1.5 kpc	26 268	10 007
r _eff	≤7.0 kpc	8287	43
distSEx^c	≤7.0 pix	932	122
Sérsic-n	≤4.0	19 158	1186

Notes. Shown are the total numbers of rejected objects for the different selection criteria (combining all eight clusters).

^(a)

Total number of sources that do not meet this criterion.

^(b)

Number of sources that do not meet this criterion, but do meet all others.

^(c)

Distance between best-fitting GALFIT position and the input position obtained using SExtractor (1 pix =ˆ 0.185′′). If this difference is too large it is generally a sign that the GALFIT fit was unstable.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
