19 j_m J selected "default" magnitude mag decimal(5,3) y 1 y y y
 Notes for j_m: This is the selected "default" magnitude for each band. For most srcs, the [jhk]_m values are the PSF fit mags for each band, or, if the PSF fit mag for a band is null, the standard aperture mag for that band. However, if a src is matched to a R1 src in a band, and the 1st digit of the [jhk]_mrg_flg for that band is > 0, the [jhk]_m value for that band is the R1 aperture mag ([jhk]_m_r1). On the other hand, if a src is band-filled in a band ([jhk]_prg_flg = 'fil'), the value of [jhk]_m for that band is the band-fill 95%-confidence upper limit mag (found in the large ap. mag column).
20 h_m H selected "default" magnitude mag decimal(5,3) y 1 y y y
 Notes for h_m: This is the selected "default" magnitude for each band. For most srcs, the [jhk]_m values are the PSF fit mags for each band, or, if the PSF fit mag for a band is null, the standard aperture mag for that band. However, if a src is matched to a R1 src in a band, and the 1st digit of the [jhk]_mrg_flg for that band is > 0, the [jhk]_m value for that band is the R1 aperture mag ([jhk]_m_r1). On the other hand, if a src is band-filled in a band ([jhk]_prg_flg = 'fil'), the value of [jhk]_m for that band is the band-fill 95%-confidence upper limit mag (found in the large ap. mag column).
21 k_m K selected "default" magnitude mag decimal(5,3) y 1 y y y
 Notes for k_m: This is the selected "default" magnitude for each band. For most srcs, the [jhk]_m values are the PSF fit mags for each band, or, if the PSF fit mag for a band is null, the standard aperture mag for that band. However, if a src is matched to a R1 src in a band, and the 1st digit of the [jhk]_mrg_flg for that band is > 0, the [jhk]_m value for that band is the R1 aperture mag ([jhk]_m_r1).

25 j_m_psf J PSF-fit magnitude (BF aperture-photometry mag) mag decimal(5,3) y 0 n n n
 Notes for j_m_psf: If a src is band-filled in a band ([jhk]_prg_flg = 'fil'), this field in that band contains the band-filled aperture-photometry mag. It is calculated by finding a mag value for the measured flux within the band-fill aperture:
    BFMag = ZERO_CAL - 2.5 log10(flux)
where ZERO_CAL is the zero calibration magnitude. Note that this field may have to represent a negative flux; in such a case, the value is
    BFMag = 99.0 - [ZERO_CAL - 2.5 log10(|flux|)]
This encoding requires fluxes close to zero to be clipped. The clipping distance is set to 0.01 DN above zero for positive fluxes and below zero for negative fluxes. For example, the positive flux 0.0005 DN would be clipped at 0.01 DN and encoded as
    BFMag = ZERO_CAL - 2.5 log10(0.01)
         = 24.93 (for ZERO_CAL = 19.93)
For a negative flux of -0.0005 DN, the clipping would yield -0.01 DN, and the encoding would be
    BFMag = 99.0 - [ZERO_CAL - 2.5 log10(0.01)]
         = 74.07 (for ZERO_CAL = 19.93)
BFMags near 50 cannot occur, so 50 marks the boundary between positive and negative flux encoding.
26 h_m_psf H PSF-fit magnitude (BF aperture-photometry mag) mag decimal(5,3) y 0 n n n
 Notes for h_m_psf: If a src is band-filled in a band ([jhk]_prg_flg = 'fil'), this field in that band contains the band-filled aperture-photometry mag. It is calculated by finding a mag value for the measured flux within the band-fill aperture:

    Lim95 = integrated flux + (2 * noise)

98 j_k_sig sigma for J-K mag color mag decimal(4,3) y 0 n n y
 Notes for j_k_sig: For colors having detections in both bands, the color mag sigma values are the root-sum-square of the two mag sigmas. If one of the bands used in the calculation is band-filled, the color sigma is the other band's mag sigma.
99 b_r B-R mag color of associated optical source mag decimal(5,3) y 0 n n y
100 r_k default R-K mag color mag decimal(5,3) y 0 n n y
 Notes for r_k: For bands with source detections and non-negative fluxes, the [jhk]_m default mag values are used to calculate the mag colors J-H,...R-K,...etc. If one of the bands used in the calculation is band-filled, the color value becomes an upper or lower limit and is calculated using the band-fill 95%-confidence upper limit value. (Color limits are NOT calculated when both bands are band-filled.)
101 b_k default B-K mag color mag decimal(5,3) y 0 n n y
 Notes for b_k: For bands with source detections and non-negative fluxes, the [jhk]_m default mag values are used to calculate the mag colors J-H,...R-K,...etc. If one of the bands used in the calculation is band-filled, the color value becomes an upper or lower limit and is calculated using the band-fill 95%-confidence upper limit value. (Color limits are NOT calculated when both bands are band-filled.)
102 r_j default R-J mag color mag decimal(5,3) y 0 n n y
 Notes for r_j: For bands with source detections and non-negative fluxes, the [jhk]_m default mag values are used to calculate the mag colors J-H,...R-K,...etc. If one of the bands used in the calculation is band-filled, the color value becomes an upper or lower limit and is calculated using the band-fill 95%-confidence upper limit value. (Color limits are NOT calculated when both bands are band-filled.)
103 b_j default B-J mag color mag decimal(5,3) y 0 n n y
 Notes for b_j: For bands with source detections and non-negative fluxes, the [jhk]_m default mag values are used to calculate the mag colors J-H,...R-K,...etc. If one of the bands used in the calculation is band-filled, the color value becomes an upper or lower limit and is calculated using the band-fill 95%-confidence upper limit value. (Color limits are NOT calculated when both bands are band-filled.)
104 dup_src has duplicate source extractions (overlap areas) --- smallint y 0 n n y
105 use_src this extraction of duplicate source is to be used --- smallint y 0 n n y
106 ext_key_1 key to 1st extended source data DB record --- integer y 1 n n y
 Notes for ext_key_1: If there is extended src data for this src, the ext_key_1 field is set to the key of the record in the extended source table containing the ext. src data. The ext. src data will also have the same date, hemisphere, scan, id keys.
107 ext_key_2 key to 2nd extended source data DB record (if necessary) --- integer y 1 n n y
 Notes for ext_key_2: If there is a duplicate ext. src extraction for this src in a different coadd, the ext_key_2 field is set to the key of the record of the 2nd extraction. The ext. src data will also have the same date, hemisphere, scan, id keys.
108 mp_key key to minor planet prediction DB record --- integer y 0 n n n
 Notes for mp_key: If a minor planet (asteroid) is predicted at this src's position, the field is set to the key of the record containing the minor planet prediction data (see the minor planet tbls). The minor planet data will also have the same date, hemisphere, scan, id keys.
109 exbr_key key to extended bright source DB record --- integer y 0 n n n
 Notes for exbr_key: Not yet in use.
110 night_key key to night data record in the night data table --- integer n 1 n n n
 Notes for night_key: This field is set to the key of the record containing the corresponding night data in the night data table. The records will also have the same date and hemisphere keys.
111 scan_key key to scan data record in the scan data table --- integer n 1 n n n
 Notes for scan_key: This field is set to the key of the record containing the corresponding scan data in the scan data table. The records will also have the same date, hemisphere, and scan keys.
112 spt_ind spatial (x,y,z) index key --- integer n 1 n n n
113 clr_ind color index key --- integer y 0 n n n
