5. Photometric measurements
- for every observed filter there is a block of columns like the example given below
- identifiers (420E e.g.) are composed of a filter name (420, R__, B__, 646, etc.)
and a letter denominating the observing run (A = Feb 1999 ... G = Feb 2001)
- observing run "S" denotes combined sum measurement of all runs for a given filter
- a given filter observed in different runs can show variation due to long-term variability

...followed by several more 4-column blocks for all other filters.
Extension:
----------
The full catalogue versions known as "FLUX" tables contain many more columns
of rather technical meaning and they are usually not relevant for team members.
However, if you do require to use them, consult the classification page or the
responsible people creating the columns. In the following list column numbers
are not to be relied upon as they are taken from various tables.
