(The bold columns are indexed columns)
| Column Name | Description | Datatype |
|---|---|---|
| cc_flags | Contamination and confusion flag. Four character string, one character per band [W1/W2/W3/W4], that indicates that the photometry and/or position measurements of a source may be contaminated or biased due to proximity to an image artifact. | CHAR |
| cntr | Unique identification number for the Catalog source. This number is formed entirely from the source_id, which is in turn formed from the coadd_id and source number src. | BIGINT |
| dec | J2000 declination with respect to the 2MASS PSC reference frame. | DOUBLE |
| designation | Sexagesimal, equatorial position-based source name in the form: hhmmss.ss+ddmmss.s. | CHAR |
| ext_flg | Extended source flag. This is an integer flag, the value of which indicates whether or not the morphology of a source is consistent with the WISE point spread function in any band, or whether the source is associated with or superimposed on a previously known extended object from the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC). | INTEGER |
| match_dist | Distance between the two matched objects | REAL |
| moon_lev | Scattered moonlight contamination flag. This is a four-character string, one character per band, in which the value is an integer indicates the fraction of single-exposure frames on which the source was measured that were possibly contaminated by scattered moonlight. The value in each band is given by [ceiling(#frmmoon/#frames*10)], with a maximum value of 9, where #frmmoon is the number of affected frames and #frames is the total number of frames on which the source was measured. | CHAR |
| nmatches | Number of matches | SMALLINT |
| ph_qual | Photometric quality flag. Four character flag, one character per band [W1/W2/W3/W4], that provides a shorthand summary of the quality of the profile-fit photometry measurement in each band, as derived from the measurement signal-to-noise ratio. | CHAR |
| ra | J2000 right ascension with respect to the 2MASS PSC reference frame | DOUBLE |
| sigdec | One-sigma uncertainty in declination coordinate | REAL |
| sigra | One-sigma uncertainty in right ascension coordinate | REAL |
| sweep_index | BIGINT | |
| var_flg | Variability flag. The variability flag is a four-character string, one character per band, in which the value for each band is related to the probability that the source flux measured on the individual WISE exposures was not constant with time. | CHAR |
| w1cov | Mean pixel coverage in W1. This column gives the mean pixel value from the W1 Atlas Tile Coverage Map within the standard aperture, a circular area with a radius of 8.25arcsec centered on the position of this source. | REAL |
| w1flg | W1 standard aperture measurement quality flag. This flag indicates if one or more image pixels in the measurement aperture for this band is confused with nearby objects, is contaminated by saturated or otherwise unusable pixels, or is an upper limit. | SMALLINT |
| w1m | Integer frame coverage. This column gives the number of individual 7.7s W1 exposures on which a profile-fit measurement of this source was possible. | SMALLINT |
| w1mag | W1 standard aperture magnitude. This is the curve-of-growth corrected source brightness measured in an 8.25arcsec radius circular aperture centered on the source position on the Atlas Image. | REAL |
| w1mpro | W1 magnitude measured with profile-fitting photometry, or the magnitude of the 95% confidence brightness upper limit if the W1 flux measurement has SNR<2. This column is null if the source is nominally detected in W1, but no useful brightness estimate could be made. | REAL |

This number can be zero for sources that are well-detected on the coadded Atlas Image, but too faint for detection on the single exposures. | SMALLINT |
| w1sat | Saturated pixel fraction, W1. The fraction of all pixels within the profile-fitting area in the stack of single-exposure images used to characterize this source that are flagged as saturated. A value larger than 0.0 indicates one or more pixels of saturation. Saturation begins to occur for point sources brighter than [W1]~8 mag. Saturation may occur in fainter sources because of a charged particle strike. | REAL |
