How to derive the depth in my image (limit Magnitude )? I saw that some survey said that their depth is 27.5 magnitudes.
May I ask that if I have a dataset with magnitude and their errors, for example I have J band j_m, j_cmsig, j_msigcom, j_snr from Sextractor.
How can I derive the 3 sigma magnitude depth in this fields to compare with the other survey.
It's the magnitude where the average signal-to-noise ratio (I assume that's what j_snr represents) is 3.
