Name	Schema Table	Database	Description	Type	Length	Unit	Default Value	Unified Content Descriptor
g_score	twomass_xsc	2MASS	galaxy score: 1(extended) < g_score < 2(point-like).	real	4			CODE_MISC
gal_contam	twomass_psc	2MASS	Extended source "contamination" flag.	smallint	2			CODE_MISC
galGrad	Plate	SSA	Gradient of galaxy instrumental mag scale	float	8	mags per instrumental mag		FIT_PARAM_VALUE
galZp	Plate	SSA	Zeropoint of galaxy instrumental scale	float	8	mag		PHOT_ZPT
gauSig	calDetection, commDetection, dxsDetection, dxsListRemeasurement, gcsDetection, gcsListRemeasurement, gpsDetection, gpsListRemeasurement, lasDetection, lasListRemeasurement, udsDetection, udsListRemeasurement	WSA	RMS of axes of ellipse fit {catalogue TType keyword: Gaussian_sigma}	real	4	pixels		MORPH_PARAM
gauSig	u05a18Detection	WSA	RMS of axes of ellipse fit {catalogue TType keyword: Gaussian_sigma}	real	4	pixels		MORPH_PARAM
			These are derived from the three general intensity-weighted second moments. The equivalence between them and a generalised elliptical Gaussian Distribution is used to derive Gaussian sigma = (σ_a²+σ_b²)^{1/2}
