objID dxsListRemeasurement, gcsListRemeasurement, gpsListRemeasurement, lasListRemeasurement, UKIDSSDetection, udsListRemeasurement WSA Unique identifier for this detection, or default for no detection bigint 8   -99999999 ID_MAIN
objID calDetection WSACalib Unique identifier for this detection, or default for no detection bigint 8   -99999999 ID_MAIN
This attribute is included to provide a single identification number for real detection rows (objID>0) when making cross-neighbour tables between source and detection. In general, users should NOT use this attribute for look-ups between the source and detection tables, because every detector frame has a default row in the detection table, so there are many, many thousands of rows with objID=-99999999 in each detection table which will be associated with every look-up of objID=-99999999 from source (i.e. those rows for which there is no detection or no frame in a particular passband). See the glossary entry for objID in source tables for more information.

OBS_CLASS twoxmm XMM Quality classification of the whole observation based on the area flagged as bad in the manual flagging process as compared to the whole detection area. 0 means nothing has been flagged; 1 indicates that 0% < area < 0.1% of the total detection mask has been flagged; 2 indicates that 0.1% <= area < 1% has been flagged; 3 indicates that 1% <= area < 10% has been flagged; 4 indicates that 10% <= area < 100% has been flagged; and 5 means that the whole field was flagged as bad. int 4
