physical_separation	The physical separation between each source and its match in the catalog.

Attributes Documentation

angular_separation

The angular separation between each source and its match in the catalog.

indices_to_catalog

For each source the index of the match in the catalog.

physical_separation

The physical separation between each source and its match in the catalog. If the sources or the catalog lack distances then the physical separations are computed assuming all coordinates are points on the unit sphere.
