# Beginner
The beginner tier data can be found in **RMDC26\_Beginner\_Tier.parquet**. If read in properly, it should have a shape of 9,230,048 rows x 14 columns and contain lightcurves for 188 unique events. The columns are as follows.  
1. **name** - The event name. These should go from RMDC26\_000001 to RMDC26\_000188.  
2. **l\_deg** - The galactic longitude of the event in degrees.  
3. **b\_deg** - The galactic latitude of the event in degrees.  
4. **ra\_deg** - The right ascension of the event in degrees.  
5. **dec\_deg** - The declination of the event in degrees.  
6. **bjd** - The time in BJD.  
7. **filt** - The filter being used in the given observation.  
8. **mag** - The observed magnitude in the given filter.  
9. **mag_err** - The magnitude error in the given filter.  
10. **extinction** - The target's estimated extinction, $A_{filt}$, in the given filter.  
11. **obs_x** -  The observer position x-component in AU (Cartesian-ecliptic reference frame).  
12. **obs_y** -  The observer position y-component in AU (Cartesian-ecliptic reference frame).  
13. **obs_z** -  The observer position z-component in AU (Cartesian-ecliptic reference frame).  
14. **saturation_flag** - Whether the target is saturated in the given observation (0 for no, 1 for yes).
