Description of the fields

Below is a description of the fields of the table that can be accessed through the interfaces.

Field: vel

Heliocentric radial velocity (CZ) in km/s with its uncertainty and quality flag in parentheses (in html displays). The quality flag has the following meaning: <:tr>
description of quality flag
valuemeaning
0regular measurement
1uncertain measurement, its weight is decreased by a factor 2 when computing the average value
3preliminary measurement, probably superseeded in a more recent publication, it is ignored unless no other measurement is available
4compilation, it is ignored unless no other measurement is available
9rejected measurement

Field: method
