- Catalog epoch
- Per-candidate transit midpoint (facts.ephemeris_reference_time_jd, BJD as the table gives it)
- Position epoch
- Selected atlas UTC time, as the phase that an observer in the Solar System sees; light travel time is not removed
- Selection caveat
- A planet candidate, not a confirmed planet: the transit signal can have a different cause, for example an eclipsing binary star. Period and transit midpoint come from the default row of the K2 Planets and Candidates table. Most K2 ephemerides are some years old, so the phase uncertainty at the atlas time is often large. The orbit direction around the line of sight is a display convention, not a measurement.
