Source catalog contents

Initial summary of discussions during splinter session of workshop on May 24

S. Digel

Name   format TBD, and will be obviously DC2-related for DC2
Location   l,b & RA, Dec in decimal degrees
Error ellipse   semimajor, semiminor axes and position angle for 68% & 99%
Flux (>100 MeV) average for range of catalog, cm-2 s-1
Peak Flux (>100 MeV) cm-2 s-1  [time range specified, too?]
Fluxes in ~5 bands (TBD) cm-2 s-1 [average for entire time range?  no consensus yet on form for upper limits]
Significance TS value
Variability index Tompkins δ
Spectral index [average for entire time range?]
   
   
Flux by month (>100 MeV) cm-2 s-1
Flags confusion (source density, diffuse intensity), extended source, variability (in addition to index), 'bright' (meaning supplementary information may be available)
Counterparts Source names and angular offsets for ~few positional coincidences with selected other catalogs - like X-ray and radio continuum sources.  A threshold will be defined, related at least to the error ellipses of the LAT source.
