Notes. Suffixes “r” and “b” refer to red and blue passbands, respectively. “Contig. time” denotes the typical contiguous time interval per orbit during which exposures were made. CCDT is the temperature of the detector. TSA (time series analysis) data points are the number of data points formed by an orbital average of the exposures and after data reduction.
