Baseline Fit Script (.bfScript) File

The baseline fit script (.bfScript) file specifies the targets tothe used in the baseline modeling calculations, and containes therelevant astrometry on each of these targets. In production this fileis automatically generated from a wide-band summary(.sum) file. The following are two exampleentries from a PTI bfScript file (this one taken from the file99138.bfScript) :

# HDC118216
HDC118216 13 34 47.808 +37 10 56.694  0.106 -0.010 0.02246 4.9 4.1 F2IVSB  xxx xxx  trg
# HDC120064
# HIP 67239 (HD 120064) has his variability flag set (1)
#  with 0.010 mag scatter in 153 observations
HDC120064 13 46 43.323 +25 42 08.050 -0.020 -0.059 0.01197 6.0 4.8 F6IV-V  xxx xxx  trg

Each entry consists of one or more comment lines (prefixed withthe pound symbol '#') containing the target name and possiblyadditional information from the Hipparcos catalog.

Then there is an uncommented line of space-delimited values withdescriptions as follows:
