Each source has an associated "Quality flag" which is given in the final columns of the HLSP_UVOTSSC.Sources table. The flag bit values are shown in the table below. Multiple flags are summed to give the final quality flag value.
Examples of usage:
Quality value = 1 - Source contains one or more bad pixels
Quality value = 3 - Source contains one or more bad pixels and lies on a read-out streak
Quality value = 7 - Source contains one or more bad pixels and lies on a read-out streak and lies within a "smoke-ring" region.
