| Column Name | Units | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| MatchID | None | bigint | Identifier for the match. It joins with the MatchID used in the HSC tables, such as SumPropMagAper2Cat |
| Filter | None | bigint | Filter name prefixed by the instrument name |
| GroupID | None | bigint | Identifier for the image group of overlapping images that contains the match. It joins with the GroupID used in the HSC tables, such as Images. |
| SubGroupID | None | int | Identifier for a subset of images within the image group. It is unique for each GroupID value, but not across GroupID values. If the subgroup is the same as the group, the value is -5. |
| RA | Degrees | float | Right ascension coordinate of the match position |
| Dec | Degrees | float | Declination coordinate of the match position |
| AutoClass | None | int | Automated classification: 0=nonvariable, 1=single filter variable candidate, 2=multi-filter variable candidate |
| ExpertClass | None | int | Expert (person made) classification: 0=not classified by expert 1=high confidence variable, 2=probable variable, 4=possible artifact |
| VarQualFlag | None | char(5) | The five letters correspond to quality based on CI, D, MagerrAper2, MagAper2-MagAuto, and peak-to-peak amplitude; AAAAA corresponds to the highest quality flag |
| FilterDetFlag | None | bit | Boolean indicator of whether viability is detected in the instrument and filter |
| NumLC | None | int | Number of points in light curve |
| MeanMag | Magnitude | float | Mean magnitude determined by the HSC |
| MeanCorrMag | None | int | Mean magnitude corrected by the HCV (same as MeanMag if no correction was possible) |
| MAD | Magnitude | float | Median absolute deviation of the magnitudes |
| Chi2 | None | float | Reduced chi squared of the magnitudes |
