Optional Header Fit - Added to PrimaryHDU
KEY DESCRIPTION
P Pulsation Period Ppuls [d]
P_ERR_SYST Systematic uncertainty on Ppuls related to the choice of the number of harmonics (NFS) [d]
P_ERR_STAT Statistical uncertainty on Ppuls determined via Monte-Carlo (fixed number of harmonics Nfs) [d]
P_ERR Total uncertainty on the pulsation period Ppuls (combination of P_ERR_SYST and P_ERR_STAT) [d]
E Epoch (BJD – 2400000.0) at which ϕ = 0 (determined using Fourier fit)
E_ERR_SYST Systematic uncertainty on E related to the choice of the number of harmonics (NFS)
E_ERR_STAT Statistical uncertainty on E determined via Monte-Carlo (fixed number of harmonics NFS)
E_ERR Total uncertainty on the epoch E (combination of E_ERR_SYST and E_ERR_STAT)
N_DOF Degrees of freedom of the fit
CHISQ Chi-squared statistics
NORMALIZED_CHISQ Normalized chi-squared
STDDEV Standard deviation of the residuals (weighted) [km s−1]
STDMER Standard error of the mean of the residuals (STDDEV/sqrt(N_DOF)) [km s−1]
N_TERMS_FS Number of harmonics (terms) used for the Fourier Series model (NFS in the text)
BOOL_POLYNOMIAL Flag - True if a polynomial was used as a nuisance parameter for determining the best-fit Fourier Series model and the pulsation period
BOOL_KEPLERIAN Flag - True if a Keplerian orbit was used to represent orbital motion, see Table C.3 for the best-fit parameters of the Keplerian model.
VGAMMA_0 Systemic heliocentric velocity [km s−1] (When no polynomial is used for the fit, VGAMMA_0 is equal to the pulsation averaged RV which is determined by the constant term of the fit (υγin Eq. 2). In case a polynomial was also adopted for the fit, either no value is reported or we estimate the VGAMMA_0 from the fit that combined the Fourier series with a Keplerian or from the Keplerian fit over VELOCE and literature data (V+L).)
VGAMMA_0_ERR Uncertainty on VGAMMA_0 [km s−1]
DELTA_RADIUS_OVER_P Difference in the star’s radius between its most contracted and expanded configuration ΔR/p [R]
INTERCEPT_PHASE Phase at which the ascending branch cross the mean value of the Fourier series
PEAK2PEAK Peak-to-peak amplitude (Ap2p) of the pulsation [km s−1]
MIN_RV Minimum RV during the pulsation cycle [km s−1]
MIN_RV_PHASE Phase of minimum RV
MAX_RV Maximum RV during the pulsation cycle [km s−1]
MAX_RV_PHASE Phase of maximum RV
Rn1 Amplitude ratio between the n-th and the first harmonics (An/ A1) (up to n = 7)
Rn1_ERR Uncertainty on the amplitude ratio between the n-th and the first harmonics
PHIn1 Phase difference between the n-th and the first harmonics (PHIn - n PHI1) (up to n = 7)
PHIn1_ERR Uncertainty on the phase difference between the n-th and the first harmonics
POLYDEG Optional - Degree of the polynomial used to improve the fit the pulsation curve, if applied (key exists only if BOOL_POLYNOMIAL is True)

Notes. Only present if BOOL_FIT_AVAILABLE in Table C.1 is True. Fourier amplitude ratios, Rn1, and phase differences, PHIn1 are reported up to the 7th order via the integer 2 ≤ n ≤ 7. Higher-order Fourier parameters can be computed from the Fourier series fit coefficients, cf. Tab. C.7.
