Description: Contains the positional information for difference detection objects in a number of coordinate systems. The objects associate difference detections within a one arcsecond radius. The number of detections in each filter from is listed, along with maximum coverage fractions. References: Szalay, A. S., Gray, J., Fekete, G., et al. 2007, arXiv:cs/0701164.
