Notes.

(a)

The detection limits are the 5σ limiting magnitudes of point sources and the PSF sizes are the radii at 80% encircled energy (Zhan 2021);

(b)

For Euclid VIS band, the detection limit is the 10σ limiting magnitude of extended sources and the PSF size is defined as the FWHM, while for Euclid NIR bands, the limits are the 5σ limiting magnitudes of point sources and the PSF sizes are the radii at 80% encircled energy (Laureijs et al. 2011);

(c)

The detection limits for LSST bands are the 5σ depth of point sources after ten year observations and the PSF sizes are the FWHM (Ivezić et al. 2019);

(d)

The detection limits for DES bands are the 10σ depth of point sources and the PSF sizes are the FWHM (Abbott et al. 2021).
