Description: Contains the positional and photometric information for point-source photometry of stack detections. The information for all filters are joined into a single row, with metadata indicating if this stack object represents the primary detection. Due to overlaps in the stack tessellations, an object may appear in multiple stack images. The primary detection is the unique detection from the stack image that provides the best coverage with minimal projection stretching. All other detections of the object in that filter are secondary, regardless of their properties. The detection flagged as best is the primary detection if that detection has a psfQf value greater than 0.98; if that is not met, then any of the primary or secondary detections with the highest psfQf value is flagged as best.

primaryDetectiondimensionlessTINYINT1255Identifies if this row is the primary stack detection. Note that in the DR1 database, about 0.5% of the objects have more than one entry with primaryDetection=1.  This may be fixed in a future modification of the DR2 database. Note also that as primaryDetection is entirely a geometric issue within a skycell, it is possible for an object (particularly if near the detection limit) to be undetected on the primary area within a skycell, but to appear on the overlapping non-primary area in an adjacent skycell. Such objects will not  have any measurement which is flagged as a primaryDetection.
bestDetectiondimensionlessTINYINT1255Identifies if this row is the best detection.  The entries in this column are currently corrupted in the DR2 database and should not be used.  We recommend using the primaryDetection flag instead (although it also has shortcomings - see above).  This is planned to be fixed in DR2.1.
