Comparison between the ASTROWISE PULECENELLA masks for a selected KiDS pointing. The images show the masks on a consistent linear colour scale, so pixels masked with the same bit(s) are shown with the same colour in each image. The DR5 implementation of these masks was refined to use slightly different parameters (see Table 6), which more closely reproduce the masking behaviour of THELI-Lens in the ASTROWISE r-band. The primary effect is a reduction (in DR5) of the size of stellar masks (cyan) and the frequency of masking of large reflection halos (green).
