cuEventID; J; UID of curation event giving rise to this record
frameSetID; K; UID of the set of frames that this merged source comes from
ra2000; D; Celestial Right Ascension
dec2000; D; Celestial Declination

b; D; Galactic latitude
lambda; D; SDSS system spherical co-ordinate 1
eta; D; SDSS system spherical co-ordinate 2
priOrSec; K; Seam code for a unique (=0) or duplicated (!=0) source (eg. flags overlap duplicates).
mergedClassStat; E; Merged S-Extractor classification statistic
mergedClass; I; Class flag from available measurements (1|0|-1|-2|-3|-9=galaxy|noise|stellar|probableStar|probableGalaxy|saturated)
pStar; E; Probability that the source is a star
