DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA

This dataset contains: 

All data generated using SExtractor on Kepler FFIs which have been difference imaged to leave behind only the variable and transient objects. 

Kepler Settings used were all default except DETECT_THRESH = 7, MIN_AREA = 7, FILTER = default.conv

Results show the output from SExtractor in a csv format

Results include information on the brightness and position of transient and variable objects within the Kepler FFIs.

The full set of objects are found within the combination of firsthalf.csv and secondhalf.csv

Subsamples of this dataset are found in matchplus3Magdiff.csv, matchplus5Magdiff.csv, and matchSNabove10.csv which represent the subsamples with: at least a three magnitude increase in brightness between two Kepler images; at least a five magnitude increase in brightness between two Kepler images; a signal to noise ratio of 10 shown within the difference image.
