eROSITA DR1 Variability catalogue column description.

IAUNAME String containing the official IAU name of the source
DETUID String unique detection ID
SKYTILE Sky tile ID
ID_SRC Source ID in each sky tile. Use SKYTILE+ID_SRC to identify the corresponding source products
UID Integer unique detection ID. It equals CatID×1011+SKYTILE×105+ID_SRC, where CatID is 1 for the 1B detected Main and Supp catalogues and 2 for the 3B detected Hard catalogue.
UID_Hard Hard catalogue eUID of the source with a strong association or -UID if the association is weak. 0 means no counterpart is found in the Hard catalogue. Only in the 1B Main and Supp. catalogues
UID_1B Main or Supp catalogue UID of the source with a strong association, or -UID if the association is weak. 0 means no counterpart is found in the 1B catalogues. Only in the Hard catalogue
