### dmu26_XID+MIPS_COSMOS
Description:

  XID+ is developed using a probabilistic Bayesian framework which provides
  a natural framework in which to include prior information, and uses the
  Bayesian inference tool Stan to obtain the full posterior probability
  distribution on flux estimates (see Hurley et al. 2017 for more details).


  This catalogue uses IRAC sources from the SPLASH survey, with a flux > 1 uJy in any of the 4 bands. The cut was made using *MIPS_prior.py*


  The resulting marginalised flux probability distributions for each source, are
  described by the 50th, 84th and 16th percentiles. For those wanting to assume
  Gaussian uncertainties, take the maximum of (84th-50th percentile) and
  (50th-16th percentile).


  We note the Gaussian approximation to uncertainties is only valid for sources
