k2_observed_simulated.fits

Targets satisfying a predefined color magnitude selection function. Contains targets observed by  K2 and Kepler
and selection matched targets simulated by Galaxia. NAN is used for undfined value

Tag name         
Description
Units
data_name
'k2-sydai2': For observed K2 data
'Galaxia-k2-sydai2-mrtd5': For Simulated data

cno
Campaign number,  Kepler:-1,   K2:  1 to 19

tmass_id
2MASS identifier

gaiadr2_source_id
Gaia DR2  identifier

epic_id
For K2 EPIC identifier,  for Kepler  Kepler identifier

weight
It is 1 for K2 stars but 0.1 for Galaxia stars. This is because
in Galaxia stars are oversampled by a factor 10 hence they have a weight  of 0.1.
