Table A.5.

Bit values of the nine-band MASK parameter.

Bit Meaning
0 THELI manual mask (very conservative)
1 THELI automatic large star halo mask (faint) (a)
2 THELI automatic large star halo mask (bright) or star mask (b)
3 manual mask of regions around globular clusters, Fornax dwarf, ISS
4 THELI weight=0, or void mask, or asteroids
5 VIKING Z band masked (c)
6 VIKING Y band masked
7 VIKING J band masked
8 VIKING H band masked
9 VIKING Ks band masked
10 ASTRO-WISEu band halo+stellar PULECENELLA mask or weight = 0
11 ASTRO-WISEg band halo+stellar PULECENELLA mask or weight = 0
12 ASTRO-WISEr band halo+stellar PULECENELLA mask (d) or weight = 0
13 ASTRO-WISEi band halo+stellar PULECENELLA mask or weight = 0
14 Object outside the RA/Dec cut for its tile
15 Reserved (used for sign in FITS 2-byte integer)

Notes.

(a)

Haloes from stars with 10.5 <  mr <  11.5 in UCAC4/GSC1 stellar catalog.

(b)

Stars with mr <  14 or haloes from stars with mr <  10.5 in UCAC4/GSC1.

(c)

The VIKING masks are described in Wright et al. (2018).

(d)

Note that these tend to more conservative than the THELI flag in bit 2.
