multiple objects

  • marca by marca

    Little bit confused. If ther are multiple objects in de DSS- and 2 Mass-images, but not in the WISE, do I have to confirm that as "Multiple objects in the circle"?

    @marca Yes, as long as any object appears in DSS or 2MASS you can mark it as "Multiple objects in the Red Circle".

    Just to triple check the facts, the very faint second object in the top right area of the circle here would also qualify this one as multiple, correct? My logic here is that the blue of this small object is lighter than the dark blue noise that surrounds it. (Side question: would the brighter object on the left count as inside the red circle even though it only partially is? I am thinking that as long as there is any other noticeable light source inside the circle, then it should automatically be hashtagged as multiple.)

    Forgive my lack of knowledge but I only just started today! Thank you!

    I also just noticed that Haian already marked it as multiple.

    Another question! How was it determined here (by Artman40) that two objects exist in this image, other than the warped appearance in DSS? If it is a matter of looking at the catalogues, I would need to find out more information on how to use them.

    Thank you again.

    The object is blended. You can see this in DSS2 Red, not rounded and elongated. Generally when there is more than one object thats the visual

    You can search the catalogs and images too.

    With regards to searching the catalogues, is there a place where I can find more detailed information on how to use them? Thank you!

    about http://talk.diskdetective.org/#/subjects/AWI0004ua6, it depends:
    generally #multiple like in this case (a lot of objects in the circle) but if it is really a good candidate and the other is not contaminating, better let the science team decide 😃
