----------
VERSION: 2020/09/21

This README describes the tables that accompany the ASPECS-LP data release.

The tables contain the properties of the ASPECS sources as described in the
band 3 (2019) and band 6 (2020) papers, specifically:

- [A19] Aravena et al., 2019, ApJ, 882, 136
- [GL19] Gonzalez-Lopez et al. 2019, ApJ, 882, 139
- [B19] Boogaard et al., 2019, ApJ, 882, 140

- [A20] Aravena et al., 2020, ApJ, in press; https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.04284
- [GL20] Gonzalez-Lopez et al. 2020, ApJ, in press; https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.07199
- [B20] Boogaard et al., 2020, ApJ, in press; https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.04348


There are five different tables, which are described below.  Each table is
provided in both ASCII (.dat) and fits (.fits) format and is accompanied by a
readme file (_readme.txt), that describes the content in detail.


aspecs_index_table
------------------

- This reference table cross-matches the identifiers of the ASPECS CO and
  dust-continuum sources with various catalogs.


2019_band3_co_selected_sample
-----------------------------

- This table contains data for the Band 3, CO-selected sample, as described in
  [GL19], [A19] and [B19].

- The MAGPHYS output has been updated with the new 1 mm data from [A20] and
  [B20].  These values SUPERSEDE those in [A19] and [B19].

- The L'CO(1-0), Mmol, and derived quantities have been updated using the new
  excitation corrections from [B20].


2020_band6_dust_selected_sample_primary
---------------------------------------

- This table contains data for the primary Band 6, 1.2mm dust
  continuum-selected sample, as described in [GL20], [A20] and [B20] (in
  particular [A20], Table 1 and 2).


2020_band6_dust_selected_sample_faint
-------------------------------------

- This table contains data for the secondary Band 6, 1.2mm dust continuum-selected
  sample, as described in [GL20], [A20] (in particular [A20], Table 3 and 4).


2020_boogaard_line_data
-----------------------

- This table contains the spectral line properties of CO and [CI], obtained by
  simultaneous Gaussian fits of all observed transitions in a specific source
  in aperture matched spectra from ASPECS-LP and VLASPECS, as reported in
  [B20], Table 6.

- Note values in this table may differ from the line fluxes reported in
  2019_band3_co_selected_sample, as discussed in [B20].
