Skygroup_ID: An integer value from 1 to 84 describing the module/channel where the target falls. It's equivalent to the channel number during season 2. The sky group is an integer that groups stars together on the sky depending on which channel they fall on (or near) during season 2. Due to slight asymmetries in the CCD array layout, positions are not perfectly maintainted upon seasonal rotation of the spacecraft. Therefore, there are objects that fall off silicon during season 2 but are on silicon in subsequent seasons. This is especially problematic for Module 13 due to the center gap. Such stars are assigned the sky group corresponding to the other stars that fall on the same channel during other seasons.

twoMass conflict flag: Describes difference (if any) between 2MASS values derived by MAST staff and the original KIC 2MASS entries. (See the KIC table to find the original uncorrected values.)
Conditions currently flagged include: 0 - no difference found, 1 - a new entry replaced a null KIC entry, 2 - a null value replaced a KIC non-null entry, 3 - a new non-null entry replaced a non-null KIC entry. If the flag contains a null value then no 2MASS entry was found for the given target. See the 2mass notes for more information.
