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:

Right Ascension J2000 Right Ascension of star. Examples of valid inputs are 3h 23m 45.6s, 3 23 45.6, 16:56:22, 50.94.
Declination J2000 Declination of star. Examples of valid inputs are -3d 23m 45.6s, 3 23 45.6, 39:23:45, 3.396.
Apparent V Magnitude Apparent V band magnitude as determined in the CoRoT ground program and reported by the mission.
Absolute V Magnitude Absolute V band magnitude as determined in the CoRoT ground program and reported by the mission.
Start Date Coverage Geocentric date of the first measurement in the CoRoT time series light curve.
End Date Coverage Geocentric date of the last measurement in the CoRoT time series light curve.
Mean of light curve in white light Average value of the monochromatic light curve in electrons/second.
RMS of light curve in white light Rms dispersion of the monochromatic light curve in electrons/second.
Number of Points in light curve Number of data points in light curve. Must be at least one.
Mean of light curve Average value of light curve in electrons/second Calculated by the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
1 Sigma rms dispersion of light curve 1-sigma root-mean-square dispersion about the median magnitude of the light curve. Must be greater than or equal to zero. Calculated by the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
Chi-square about the median light curve value Reduced chi-square about the median magnitude value of the light curve. Must be greater than or equal to zero. Calculated by the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
Number of points in light curve beyond 5-sigma of median value Number of data points in light curve which are at least 5-sigma away from the median light curve value. Must be greater than or equal to zero. Calculated by the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
Fraction of points in light curve beyond 5-sigma of median value Fraction of data points in light curve which are at least 5-sigma away from the median light curve value. Must be between zero and one. Calculated by the NASA Exoplanet Archive.
