The Variability table contains statistics from the set of observations of each source. At present, the mean ra and dec and the error in two tangential directions are calculated. The "ra" direction is defined as tangential to both the radial direction and the cartesian z-axis and the "dec" direction is defined as both the radial direction and the "ra" direction. Since the current model is just the mean and standard deviation of the data, then the chi-squared of the fit=1. Data from good frames across all bands go into the astrometric model determination. This will include bands in non-synoptic filters: the one observation in these bands can help. In future releases a fit will be made to the rms data as a function of magnitude in each band, as has already happened for photometric data and a motion model that incorporates proper motion (and possibly parallax) will be used. The motion model is a parameter in the VarFrameSetInfo table.

mergedClass calSource, calSynopticSource WSACalib Class flag from available measurements (1|0|-1|-2|-3|-9=galaxy|noise|stellar|probableStar|probableGalaxy|saturated) smallint 2     CODE_MISC
Individual detection classifications are combined in the source merging process to produce a set of attributes for each merged source as follows. Presently, a basic classification table is defined that assigns reasonably accurate, self-consistent probability values for a given classification code:
FlagMeaning
Probability (%)
StarGalaxyNoiseSaturated
-9Saturated 0.0 0.0 5.095.0
-3Probable galaxy25.070.0 5.0 0.0
-2Probable star70.025.0 5.0 0.0
-1Star90.0 5.0 5.0 0.0
0Noise 5.0 5.090.0 0.0
+1Galaxy 5.090.0 5.0 0.0

Then, each separately available classification is combined for a merged source using Bayesian classification rules, assuming each datum is independent:

P(classk)=ΠiP(classk)i / ΣkΠiP(classk)i
where classk is one of star|galaxy|noise|saturated, and i denotes the ith single detection passband measurement available (the non-zero entries are necessary for the independent measures method to work, since some cases might otherwise be mutually exclusive). For example, if an object is classed in J|H|K as -1|-2|+1 it would have merged classification probabilities of pStar=73.5%, pGalaxy=26.2%, pNoise=0.3% and pSaturated=0.0%. Decision thresholds for the resulting discrete classification flag mergedClass are 90% for definitive and 70% for probable; hence the above example would be classified (not unreasonably) as probably a star (mergedClass=-2). An additional decision rule enforces mergedClass=-9 (saturated) when any individual classification flag indicates saturation.

muDec calVariability WSACalib Proper motion in Dec real 4 mas/yr -0.9999995e9 POS_EQ_PMDEC
The Variability table contains statistics from the set of observations of each source. At present, the mean ra and dec and the error in two tangential directions are calculated. The "ra" direction is defined as tangential to both the radial direction and the cartesian z-axis and the "dec" direction is defined as both the radial direction and the "ra" direction. Since the current model is just the mean and standard deviation of the data, then the chi-squared of the fit=1. Data from good frames across all bands go into the astrometric model determination. This will include bands in non-synoptic filters: the one observation in these bands can help. In future releases a fit will be made to the rms data as a function of magnitude in each band, as has already happened for photometric data and a motion model that incorporates proper motion (and possibly parallax) will be used. The motion model is a parameter in the VarFrameSetInfo table.
