| ColumnName | Units | Description | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASCC | ASCC-2.5 number | Stars are numbered from 1 to 2501977 (as in the first version in agreement with the file order indicated in the File Summary) and from 2600001 to 2603318 (new stars in the 2nd version). This is a hyperlink to that object's light curve and periodogram. |
|
| Newparams | Boolean | New parameters | If True, parameters (period, amplitude) were not previously known in the VSX database. |
| HD | HD number | These link to the object's page on SIMBAD. Derived from ASCC. |
|
| HIP | Hipparcos number | ||
| TYC | TYC number from Tycho-2 | ||
| VSX_ID | VSX identifier | These link to the object's VSX catalogue web page. | |
| VSX_name | VSX name | ||
| Vtype_VSX | Type of variability (VSX) | As given in the VSX catalogue. | |
| Vtype | Type of variability | Determined visually based on the light curve. "P" is pulsating (e.g. RR Lyr, del Cep), "E" is eclipsing. | |
| Vmag | mag | V magnitude in Johnson system | From ASCC. |
| Bmag | mag | B magnitude in Johnson system | |
| BminV | mag | B-V magnitude | |
| Spectype | Spectral type | ||
| RA | deg | Right Ascension | epoch J2000 |
| Dec | deg | Declination | epoch J2000 |
| Data | Number of flux data | ||
| P | days | Period | |
| P_err | days | Period error | 3 sigma; "--" if no 3 sigma error could be determined. |
