Description This catalogue provides aperture photometry for ~1 billion detections. It was published by the ESO Science Archive Group based on available information as provided by the PI of the VHS survey. There is no supporting documentation; MJD-END, UCD and unit definitions are incorrect or incomplete. The current catalogue supersedes the previous version except for 10 tiles that have not been replaced.
