TABLE  vmcSynopticSource

Contains VMC merged sources from VMC detections in vmcDetection.

Constraints on band-merging are:
Multiple epochs, with consecutive Ks,J,Y tile OB frames merged over
240.0 minute duration epochs
Prescription for the merging (from RequiredFilters) is: Ks, J, Y.

Required constraints:
  • Primary key is (synFrameSetID,synSeqNum)
  • (synFrameSetID) references vmcSynopticMergeLog(synFrameSetID)
