# The All Sky Automated Survey Data # gp@astrouw.edu.pl # # ################ DESCRIPTION ############### # The ASAS Photometric Catalog is maintained separately for each # observed field, so for some stars independent 'datasets' of # measurements are available. Their mean magnitudes may slightly differ. # # In each 'dataset' (starting with #dataset=0,1,2,...): # 'desig' is ASAS designation (they may differ (by 1) at the last # digit of the RA & DEC fields # 'cra', 'cdec' are initial Catalog coordinates # 'ndata' is number of points in each dataset # 'cmag_*', 'cmer_*' are reference magnitude & dispersion for each aperture # 'nskip_*' is number of data points skipped when calculating 'cmag' & 'cmer' # 'ra', 'dec', 'mag', 'mer' are coordinates, magnitude and dispersion # calculated directly from the data # # Each data row consists of the following fields: # - HJD-2450000 # - magnitudes (one for each aperture) # - frame errors describing average photometric quality of the frame (for each aperture) # - frame number # - grade : # A - best data, no 29.999 (not measured) indication # B - mean data, no 29.999 (not measured) indication # C - A and B with 29.999 (not measured) indication # D - worst data, probably useless # # ######### LIGHT CURVE BEGINS NEXT LINE ###########
