SQL Schema: Tables

Important announcements

The database for AKARI CAS was restructured into multiple databases. The 'cas' database is available as a new database instead of 'DR1'.
Due to the reconfiguration of the database, the name of some tables and views had changed. If you keep the previously created SQL and want to use again, please do substitution of the name. And also, the usage of some functions had changed.
The correspondence between the new name and the old name is written in Tables and Views. In Functions, please specify the catalogue names ('akari_fis_bsc_1' or 'akari_irc_psc_1') instead of the instrument ('Fis' or 'Irc'). We appreciate in your inconvenience.

The summary is below:

The format is HHMMSSS+/-DDMMSS, e.g., 0123456+765432 for a source at (01h23m45.6s, +76d54m32s). The source must be referred to in the literatures by its full name; AKARI-FIS-V1 J0123456+765432.

flags_65INT2 S A 16-bit flag per band indicating various data condition. In version 1 catalogue three bits are used. The first bit (bit0) is used to indicate the CDS sampling mode. The second bit (bit1) warns the flux of the band is less than a half of the detection limit, and is not reliable. The fourth bit (bit3) tells that the source is possibly false detection due to `side-lobe' effects (see, Section 7.7 of the Release Note). The third bit (bit2) was previously indicated an anomaly which does not exist in the current version, and thus is kept unused. Sources with bit1 or bit3 = 1 have fQual_65 = 2 or less. Other bits are reserved for the future implementation.

mConf_65INT2 S The month confirmation flags are prepared per band. The value is 1 when the source is observed in the scans separated more than one months (usually an object is visible at every 6 months). This information is independent to hours confirmation and can be 1 even if the source is not confirmed (fQual_65 = 1). Because of the visibility constraint of the AKARI Survey, some sky regions were observed by scans only within a month.
This flag is `NULL' for fQual_65 = 0 sources.
mConf_90INT2 S The month confirmation flags are prepared per band. The value is 1 when the source is observed in the scans separated more than one months (usually an object is visible at every 6 months).

This flag is `NULL' for fQual_160 = 0 sources.
nDensINT2 S Number of sources in the catalogue within the distance of 5 arcmin from the source. This value is intended to be an indicator of crowdedness of the sky region. Since the source extraction program is tuned so that a unique source is found within 48 arcsec radius, the 5 arcmin radius corresponds to approximately 40 beams.
