Actually, to me, "detection" sounds like a single data point in one band
on one night.... If I were starting from
scratch, I'd try to find a nomenclature that has separate and not easily
confused words for each of these things:
A single extractable flux from one filter at one observational epoch; a
single data point; a detection
All the extractable fluxes in all filters for one position for one
observational epoch; a visit
All the extractable fluxes in all filters which are believed to belong
to the same physical celestial entity; an "object"?
The actual physical celestial entity; a star, galaxy, solar system
object, etc. which is what I called Thing. Starting from scratch I
might call this an "object" or a "source"

I think we should use detection for Deborah's Thing.

Hi All,
--> Deborah will try to summarize what info related to
confused/resolved objects will be readily needed
from database from a scientist point of view
Deborah has so attempted, the result is attached!
