[AstroPy] ascii read question

Hi, all,

I'm new to the AstroPy community, but I find the ascii read function very
useful for ascii data import. However, I run into errors reading my table,
probably due to the fact that I'm not quite familiar with all supported
formats.

I attach my table below, can somebody give me a hint how to read in all
column names correctly?

I have tried this when guessing failed:
a = ascii.read("199808041.AHA", format = "basic", delimiter = " ", guess =
False), but I don't know what to do with the "[ " in the header.

Thanks!
Qinpeng
