eRASS1 catalogs column desciption. All errors are provided as 68% confidence intervals (1 − σ).

Column Units Description
IAUNAME String containing the official IAU name of the source
DETUID String unique detection ID
SKYTILE Sky tile ID
ID_SRC Source ID in each sky tile. Use SKYTILE+ID_SRC to identify the corresponding source products
UID Integer unique detection ID. It equals CatID×1011 +SKYTILE×105+ID_SRC, where CatID is 1 for the 1B detected Main and Supp catalogs and 2 for the 3B detected Hard catalog.
UID_Hard Hard catalog UID of the source with a strong association, or -UID if the association is weak. 0 means no counterpart found in the Hard catalog. Only in the 1B Main and Supp catalogs
UID_1B Main or Supp catalog UID of the source with a strong association, or -UID if the association is weak. 0 means no counterpart found in the 1B catalogs. Only in the Hard catalog
ID_CLUSTER Group ID of simultaneously fitted sources
