Global Survey of Star Clusters in the Milky Way
MWSC presents a list of 3006 Milky Way Stellar Clusters (MWSC), found in the
2MAst (2MASS with Astrometry) catalogue. The target list was compiled on the
basis of present-day lists of open, globular and candidate clusters. For
confirmed clusters we determined a homogeneous set of astrophysical
parameters such as membership, angular radii of the main morphological
parts, mean cluster proper motions, distances, reddenings, ages, tidal
parameters, and sometimes radial velocities.

8.0.
"E"
This category includes detections where the goodness-of-fit quality of
the profile-fit photometry was very poor (rflg=2 and
[jhk]psf_chi>10.0), or detections where psf fit photometry did not
converge and an aperture magnitude is reported (rflg=4), or
detections where the number of frames was too small in relation to the
number of frames in which a detection was geometrically possible
(rflg="1" or rflag="2").
"A"
Detections in any brightness regime where valid measurements were made
(rflg="1","2" or "3") with [jhk]\\_snr>10 AND [jhk]\\_cmsig<0.10857.
"B"
Detections in any brightness regime where valid measurements were made
(rflg="1","2" or "3") with [jhk]\\_snr>7 AND [jhk]\\_cmsig<0.15510.
"C"
Detections in any brightness regime where valid measurements were made
(rflg="1","2" or "3") with [jhk]_snr>5 AND [jhk]_cmsig<0.21714.
"D"
Detections in any brightness regime where valid measurements were made
(rflg="1","2" or "3") with no [jhk]_snr or [jhk]_cmsig requirement.
]]>
1"
More than one component was fit simultaneously during R2 profile-fit
photometry, where the value of the field is the number of components
simultaneously fit. The maximum number of components is 7 in any band
for the PSC, so this bflg is always a three character flag.
Multi-component fitting occurs only for profile-fitting, and only when
more than one detection is found within ~5". Single detections that are
not well-fit by a single PSF are not split.
