PlateQualityFlags

class daschlab.photometry.PlateQualityFlags(value)[source]

Bases: IntFlag

DASCH photometry data processing warning flags based on plate-level diagnostics.

The plate_quality_flag value is an integer where each bit indicates something about the quality of the plate associated with this photometric point. In most but not all cases, the “good” flag setting is zero.

Flag documentation is intentionally superficial. Flag semantics are (FIXME: will be) documented more thoroughly in the DASCH data description pages.
