Previous: FITS File Description
Following the primary FITS header in the Calnic C FITS output file are
the
binary tables which contain information for each object detected on the
image pair. One binary table is written out for each object
detected
on the image pair. Preceding each table, is an extensive FITS header
describing the object whose spectral information is contained in the
table.
The binary table consists of five columns which contain an object's,
flux
(in the units indicated in the FITS keyword UNITS ), wavelength (in microns), statistical errors, deblending
errors, and total errors. The error vectors contain values for each
flux/wavelength pair for the entire spectrum.
An example of a FITS table header is in table B.5
