CoRoT Asteroseismology Search Parameter Descriptions

The following is a brief description for the search parameters of the NASA Exoplanet Archive-CoRoT interface page for the CoRoT asteroseismology channel. The parameter values for each CoRoT star have been calculated by the CoRoT project and included in the N2-level CoRoT mission products.

Column Description Keyword	Descriptions:
