TABLE  QsoConcordance

A concordance of all the objects from Spectro, Best, or Target that "smell" like a QSO
NOTE: This is a derived science table that may not be loaded for
every data release. It is scheduled to be reloaded for DR5.

QsoConcordance is built from QSOCatalogAll. For each entry in QSOCatalogAll, QsoConcordance collects popular fields from the three different databases involved (Spectro, Best, Target). Its fields are itemized and documented below. See also the QsoCatalogAll table description.

QsoConfidencefloat8  a number between 0..1. If this has a SpecObj, then it is the QSO Zconf (see table definition). If no specobj, it is .3*(BestObjFlagedQso+TargetObjFlagedQso)
SpecObjFlagedQsotinyint1  Flag (0 / 1): 1 means this SpecObj is SpecClass QSO or HiX_QSO
BestObjFlagedQsotinyint1  Flag (0 / 1): 1 PhotoObjID was flagged as a QSO in the target flags.
