The Variability table contains statistics from the set of observations of each source. At present, the mean ra and dec and the error in two tangential directions are calculated. The "ra" direction is defined as tangential to both the radial direction and the cartesian z-axis and the "dec" direction is defined as both the radial direction and the "ra" direction. Since the current model is just the mean and standard deviation of the data, then the chi-squared of the fit=1. Data from good frames across all bands go into the astrometric model determination. This will include bands in non-synoptic filters: the one observation in these bands can help. In future releases a fit will be made to the rms data as a function of magnitude in each band, as has already happened for photometric data and a motion model that incorporates proper motion (and possibly parallax) will be used. The motion model is a parameter in the VarFrameSetInfo table.

An automatic 2D background-following algorithm is used to track and "remove" slowly varying background features such as image gradients etc.. The default scale size for background tracking (NBSIZE) is currently set to 64 pixels, coupled with a smidge of non-linear filtering this gives a background tracking scale of order 100 pixels. (A bilinear interpolator is used to generate pixel resolution background maps internally).

SUM_FLAG twoxmm XMM The summary flag of the source is derived from EP_FLAG. It is 0 if none of the nine flags was set; it is set to 1 if at least one of the warning flags (flag 1, 2, 3, 9) was set but no possible-spurious-detection flag (flag 7, 8); it is set to 2 if at least one of the possible-spurious-detection flags (flag 7, 8) was set but not the manual flag (flag 11); it is set to 3 if the manual flag (flag 11) was set but no possible-spurious-detection flags (flag 7, 8); it is set to 4 if the manual flag (flag 11) as well as one of the possible-spurious-detection flags (flag 7, 8) is set. The meaning is thus: 0 = good, 1 = source parameters may be affected, 2 = possibly spurious, 3 = located in a area where spurious detection may occur, 4 = located in a area where spurious detection may occur and possibly spurious. . int 4
