sii_6731_eqwThe equivalent width of the CB08 continuum-subtracted emission line computed from straight integration over the bandpasses listed below (emisison is negative) . This properly takes into account stellar absorption. Note that it will not be correct in the case of blended lines (ie NII & H-alpha) -- instead use FLUX/CONT.REAL
sii_6731_eqw_errError in the equivalent width described aboveREAL
sii_6731_fluxFlux from Gaussian fit to continuum subtracted data. (Note that the fit is done simultaneously to all the lines so de-blending happens automatically)REAL
sii_6731_flux_errError in the fluxREAL
sii_6731_inst_resInstrumental resolution at the line center (measured for each spectrum from the ARC lamps)REAL
sii_6731_reqwThe equivalent width of the continuum-subtracted emission line computed from straight integration over the bandpasses listed below (emisison is negative). In this case the continuum comes from a running 200 pixel median and does not properly account for stellar absorption. In general the EQW measurements provide a better measure of the true equivalent width. The purpose of this measurement is to help characterize the stellar absorption effecting the line. (EW_stellar = REQW - EQW)REAL
sii_6731_reqw_errError in the equivalent width described aboveREAL
sii_6731_seqwThe equivalent width of the CB07 continuum-subtracted emission line computed from a spectrum with the other emission lines subtracted off. In general this is not recommended for use.REAL

specobjidUnique database ID based on PLATE, MJD, FIBERID, RUN2DCHAR
spectofiberThe multiplicative scale factor applied to the original flux and error spectra prior to measurement of the emission lines to improve the spectrophotometric accuracy. The rescaling insures that a synthetic r-band magnitude computed from the spectrum matches the r-band fiber magnitude measured by the photometric pipeline.REAL
