Description: Contains single epoch forced photometry of individual measurements of objects detected in the stacked images. The identifiers connecting the measurement back to the original image and to the object association are provided. PSF, aperture, and Kron (1980) photometry are included, along with sky and detector coordinate positions. References: Kron, R. G. 1980, ApJS, 43, 305.
