MCCLASS / ERRORS

Purpose:

Calculation of depth reached in every filter and plot of their flux error distribution for an object table, using the magnitude data :_M_$$$$ und their errors :sM_$$$$. These error plots are used as diagnostic tools to search for hidden problems in the data reduction. This command also determines Asinh magnitudes (luptitudes) and errors for all objects which are the basis for improved colour indices and classification results at faint magnitudes and among dropout objects. 



Syntax:		MCCLASS/ERRORS  [flux-table]  [plots]

	   	   flux-table = Name of object table
				(no default)

		   plots      = Plots for all individual filters?
				(YES=default / NO)


Example:	MCCLASS/ERRORS  flux16h_Dec00
		MCCLASS/ERRORS  fluxA901_J2003  NO
Remarks:

The resulting plot pages are saved as postscript files named FE0_{table}.ps, FE1_{table}.ps, etc., where the page FE0 contains a full filter list with depth information and potential warnings. The following pages FE1, FE2,... hold four panels each, one for each filter in the table, and are only created if not deselected with the NO parameter.
