fldname - name of field rootname - user-supplied name for processing run initial_exposure - exposure time in seconds prior to filtering flares. net_exposure - exposure time in seconds after filtering flares. idnum - source number (within field) idradec - id created using ra/dec telesc - telescope name instr - detector name (ccd number in the case of invididual ccds for Chandra ACIS) x, y - position of source in image coordinates ra,dec - J2000.0 position cnts, cnts_err - net source counts and error rate, rate_err - net count rate and error SNR - signal-to-noise ratio, computed using (source counts)/sqrt(bgd counts) poisprob - Poisson probability of source, should be similar to integral of a normal curve from -SNR to SNR for sources with a large number of counts. sigmaj, sigmaj_errlow, sigmaj_errhi - major axis of elliptical Gaussian fit to stamp image and errors, in arcsec. sigmin, sigmin_errlow, sigmin_errhi - minor axis of elliptical Gaussian fit to stamp image and errors, in arcsec. incang, incang_errlow, incang_errhi - position angle and errors, in degrees offax - off-axis angle estimate in arcmin. ext - source extent flag: F = pt. src, T = extended src., A = asymetric (may be extended or psf may be asymetric at that off-axis angle), U = unknown var - variability flag: T = source is variable, F = source is not variable, U = unknown N_H_gal - Galactic column density in cm^-2 default_phindex - power-law photon index used in computing flux from count rate flux_elo, flux_ehi - energy range for flux flux - flux estimated from count rate using a power-law model vign - estimate of vignetting (not computed at the moment for Chandra) spectral_fit_model - model used in spectral fitting spectral_fit_nh, _nh_errlow, _nh_errhi - N_H and errors from spectral fit spectral_fit_phindex, _phindex_errlow, _phindex_errhi - photon index and errors spectral_fit_chisq, spectral_fit_dof - chi^2 and deg. of freedom from fit spectral_fit_flux - flux estimated from spectral fit flags - flags indicating source of source parameters and if source is suspect: d (by itself): all parameters based on detection output s: counts, rate, and all spatial parameters derived from spatial fit x: counts and rate determined from extracted source counts flux determined using count rate and response specific to source f: spectral fit performed b: spatial fit was not successful (fitted source position deviated too much from detection position) p: spatial fit model count rate is inconsistent with observed count rate, most likely indicating that the fit failed to converge c: source is confused (i.e., spatial extent overlaps spatial extent of another source) htmlfile - name of htmlfile giving report for this source version - version of XAssist used in processing bgd_counts - Current estimate of number of background counts within source region aperture_counts, aperture_counts_err - (Net) number of counts for source derived from aperture photometry and error aperture_bgd_counts - background counts in source region derived from aperture photometry simplespatial_counts - counts in source region derived from simple (i.e., not including PSF) spatial fit simplespatial_bgd_counts - background counts in source region derived from simple spatial fit soft_counts - (Net) soft-band counts in source region from aperture photometry hard_counts - (Net) hard-band counts in source region from aperture photometry soft_bgd_counts - Soft-band background counts in source region hard_bgd_counts - Hard-band background counts in source region hr,hr_err - (hard-counts - soft_counts)/(hard_counts + soft_counts) and error sscale - Source region size scale (from bscale keyword in spectrum header) bscale - Background region size scale (from bscale keyword in spectrum header) aperture_rate, aperture_rate_err - Count rate and error based on aperture photometry detx,dety - Position of source in detector coordinates (tdetx,y for ACIS)
