Values for columns below are the original values from ObjectThin, copied before the astrometry update was applied.
NOTE: When querying this table, if these original column values are all NULL it indicates that the object (objid) does not exist in ObjectThin. That applies mainly to objects south of declination -30 degrees. |
raMean | degrees | FLOAT | 8 | -999 | Right ascension from single epoch detections (weighted mean) in equinox J2000 at the mean epoch given by epochMean. |
decMean | degrees | FLOAT | 8 | -999 | Declination from single epoch detections (weighted mean) in equinox J2000 at the mean epoch given by epochMean. |
raMeanErr | arcsec | REAL | 4 | -999 | Right ascension standard deviation from single epoch detections. |
decMeanErr | arcsec | REAL | 4 | -999 | Declination standard deviation from single epoch detections. |
epochMean | days | FLOAT | 8 | -999 | Modified Julian Date of the mean epoch corresponding to raMean, decMean (equinox J2000). Note that Gaia DR1 data is sometimes included in the mean position (see the FAQ for details); in those cases, the epochMean value is near the Gaia DR1 epoch 2015.5 = MJD 15023. As a result, epochMean is not necessarily near the mean value of the PS1 measurement dates. That is no longer true of the new astrometry-corrected value of epochMean – the new positions do not include any Gaia position or epoch information in the calculations except to calibrate local disortions in the PS1 coordinate system. |
posMeanChisq | dimensionless | REAL | 4 | -999 | Reduced chi squared value of mean position. |
cxOrig | dimensionless | FLOAT | 8 | NA | Cartesian x on a unit sphere. |
