Gred-band magnitude. A special order intermediate-bandwidth filter centered at 4320 A with a bandwidth of 150 A. (Not used for most observations.) range: 6.783 to 19.133
D51-band magnitude. A special order filter modeled after the Dunlop Observatory DD51 filter centered at 5100 A with a bandwidth of 150 A. range: 7.018 to 19.902
2MASS catalog ID, a sexagesimal, equatorial position-based source name in the form: hhmmssss+ddmmsss[ABC...] (Note this entry was added by MAST, and was not included in the KIC). range:
Star/galaxy indicator based on the USNO-B star/galaxy estimator. 1 = USNO-B values 0 to 5, 0 = values 6 to 11. The values 0 - 11 were a measure of the similarity between a given image to a stellar point spread function. 0 is quite dissimilar, 11 means quite similar. 1 - galaxy, 0 - star
Constant/variable indicator based on data from the General Catalog of Variable Stars. (Additional catalogs will be used in future versions.) 0 - constant, 1 - variable
Source of Kepler-band magnitude SCP, 2MASS, UNCAL, PHOTO, and TYBV. SCP - SCP values for sdssg and sdssr were used to compute KEPMAG using equation below . The error for KEPMAG is roughly 0.03 mag., NOCAL - No calibration to optical mag. possible, used for entries from non-optical catalogs. KEPMAG field is null. , 2MASS - Objects found only in 2MASS Catalog with no optical counterpart, KEPMAG is null, UNCAL - KEPMAG copied from a single color of the parent catalog, uncertainty could be 1.0 mag or higher, PHOTO - parent catalog contained a red and blue mag. obtained from Photographic photometry. Values used to compute KEPMAG on the basis of: sdssg=blue sdssr=red color=sdssg-sdssr if (color<=0.8) kepmag = 0.8*sdssr + 0.2*sdssg else kepmag = 0.9*sdssr+0.1*sdssg, internal photographic errors have errors of 0.2 mag suggest KEPMAG errors of 0.03 mag, TYBV - parent catalog is Tycho-2 and this gives B and V magnitudes. KEPMAG value computed from sdssg=0.54*b+0.46*v-0.07 sdssr=-0.44*b+1.44*v+0.12 using same transformation as above to calc. KEPMAG. Errors same as for TYCHO-2 catalog.
Photometry quality indicator. Placeholder for SCP values not yet determined. range: 0 to 8 which is the count of non-null entries in USNO-B1.0 (O,E,J,F,N), UCAC-2 (R), TYcho-2 (B,V). In general the more colors the more likely the star is real. For NOCAL and 2MASS entries, this value = 0.
Astrophysics quality indicator. Placeholder for SCP values not yet determined. range: 0 to 6 which is the count of non-null entries in Teff, logG, FeH, AV, E(B-V), and Radius.
