TL;DR
This paper details the integration of KiDS imaging data into the GAMA database, enhancing the dataset's completeness and homogeneity for galaxy research across multiple wavelengths.
Contribution
It introduces a new process for ingesting KiDS data into GAMA, replacing SDSS data, and redefines core catalogues using the ProFound analysis package for improved photometry.
Findings
Successful integration of KiDS data into GAMA catalogues.
Enhanced photometric accuracy across multiple bands.
Full FUV-FIR photometry catalogues now available for research.
Abstract
The Galaxy And Mass Assembly Survey (GAMA) covers five fields with highly complete spectroscopic coverage ( per cent) to intermediate depths ( or mag), and collectively spans 250 square degrees of Equatorial or Southern sky. Four of the GAMA fields (G09, G12, G15 and G23) reside in the ESO VST KiDS and ESO VISTA VIKING survey footprints, which combined with our GALEX, WISE and Herschel data provide deep uniform imaging in the bands. Following the release of KiDS DR4, we describe the process by which we ingest the KiDS data into GAMA (replacing the SDSS data previously used for G09, G12 and G15), and redefine our core optical and near-IR catalogues to provide a complete and homogeneous dataset. The source extraction and analysis is based on the new ProFound image analysis package, providing…
