Notes. Columns 2–4 indicate whether a particular keyword is required (marked X), present but not required / actively used (marked P), or absent (marked —) for the SOLARNET (SN), IRIS spectrograph (SG), and slit-jaw image (SJ) files, respectively. The keywords above the horizontal line are from the main data extension header; those below the line correspond to the first auxiliary extension header. For tabulated WCS coordinates, the keywords CDELTi, CRPIXi, and CRVALi are defined differently, along with PSi_j and PVi_j, they are used to find the relevant data in binary extensions (see Greisen et al. 2006).
