I'm using astroquery to simbad.query_region and obtain the magnitudes of the Stars in the region in certain bands (B,V,R).
simbad.add_votable_fields("flux(B)","flux(V)","flux(R)","flux_error(b)","flux_error(v)","flux_error(r)", "otype","sptype")
result_table = simbad.query_region(target_coords, radius='0.3 degree')
The code supposedly works, and returns:
MAIN_ID FLUX_B FLUX_ERROR_b FLUX_V FLUX_ERROR_v FLUX_R FLUX_ERROR_r
mag mag mag

UCAC4 439-051968 16.679 -- 15.727 -- 15.36 0.080
my problem is that while the magnitude values agree with those found in a in-browser query of simbad, for most sources the error values are not returned, and when they are they do not agree with what i find if i look up that MAIN_ID in browser. Am i searching the wrong fields?
I have not found any other plausible keyword and if those were wrong astroquery would return an error.
