WISE Software Interface Specification for v4; UREF_rex14; (WSDC D-I191)

SIS Written by Howard McCallon, version 1.2, 02/08/2011

Interface Name:     UREF (Unused References file)

Type of Interface:  ASCII file in IPAC table format

Read By:            Off-line Analysis Program (TBS) ..................... J.W. Fowler/ H.L. McCallon

Written By:         PRex/SFPRex (Single-Frame Position REconstruction) .. H.L. McCallon/ J.W. Fowler

DESCRIPTION

One UREF file is generated for each frameset and includes 2MASS reference stars contained within all four reconstructed band-frames belonging to the frameset, but either unmatched in all bands or rejected in one or more bands. Flags indicating which b2r measurements were used/rejected by SFPRex/FSFitR are also included.  All column headers are described in header comment lines.  This file should be useful to identify 2MASS stars which are not visible to WISE (at the frame level) or that may have position problems.
