Effects of cc_flg ~'[c]'
Source confusion (cc_flg contains "c") should affect photometry at
small separations according to early tests involving artifical stars
added to real images.
Since the offsets will tend to affect all three bands, stellar
magnitudes are biased but colors are less biased.
Below are blinks between sources with cc_flg='000' and cc_flg~'[c]'
for ph_qual='AAA' sources in two environments.
- abs(galactic latitude) >70.
- the LMC
The LMC, in particular, was chosen due to the "horizontally"
distributed
populations in its color-magnitude diagram. These populations
should make a magnitude bias more evident that the largely
vertical populations seen at the galactic poles. No trends are
obvious.
