KODIAQ Results Column Descriptions

Column		Description
KODIAQ QSO ID		Unique identifier for each quasar in the KODIAQ survey in J2000 coordinates.
Target Name		Name given to target quasar by the original Keck program PI during the observations.
PI and Date		Identifier given to the observing run from which the data are obtained. Format is original Keck program PI and UT dates of observation.
Spectrum Prefix		Name prefix for output spectrum. Will match the KODIAQ QSO ID unless multiple spectra of the same quasar exist with different HIRES configurations (setups) within a single observing run.
Reduction Setup		Name given to a HIRES setup during data reduction of an observing run with HIRedux.
Decker Name		HIRES decker position for the given setup.
Quality Flag		Returns 'ok' for data without significant data extraction issues. A '-' sign indicates no data from a given mosaic chip (e.g. -r for no data extracted from the red mosaic chip). A '?' indicates the data may be of questionable quality, typically in wavelength solution accuracy.
Total Elaptime		Sum of the individual exposure times for the spectra coadded within a HIRES setup.
Blue Wavelength		Wavelength of the first pixel in the 1D KODIAQ spectrum.
Red Wavelength		Wavelength of the last pixel in the 1D KODIAQ spectrum.
KODIAQ Release		Data Release number for the KODIAQ spectrum.
RA		Right Ascension of the KODIAQ quasar in degrees.
Dec		Declination of the KODIAQ quasar in degrees.
