Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
This DSA hosts data release 1 of the ATLAS Survey housed at the Wide Field Astronomy Unit at the Univeristy of Edinburgh. The initial aim of ATLAS is to survey 4500 deg2 of the Southern Sky at high galactic latitudes to comparable depths to the SDSS in the North. The VST ATLAS will be the first step towards a panoramic digital survey of the Southern Sky in the optical bands. The ATLAS will complement the proposed VISTA Hemisphere Survey in the South.

3. 6dF Galaxy Survey Data Release 2
ID:

Title:
6dF Galaxy Survey Data Release 2
Short Name:
6dF DR2
Date:

Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) aims to measure the redshifts of around 150 000 galaxies, and the peculiar velocities of a 15 000-member subsample, over almost the entire southern sky. The table called Spectra contains the redshifts and qualities of all the observations. When complete, it will be the largest redshift survey of the nearby Universe, reaching out to about z ~ 0.15, and more than an order of magnitude larger than any peculiar velocity survey to date. The targets are all galaxies brighter than K tot = 12.75 in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC), supplemented by 2MASS and SuperCOSMOS galaxies that complete the sample to limits of (H, J , r F, bJ) = (13.05, 13.75, 15.6, 16.75).

Short Name:
FIRST
Date:

Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
FIRST (Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm) is a project designed to produce the radio equivalent of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey over 10,000 square degrees of the North and South Galactic Caps. The catalogue covers a total of about 9033 square degrees of sky (8422 square degrees in the north Galactic cap and 611 square degrees in the south Galactic cap.)

Title:
GALEX Release 6

Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite is a NASA mission led by the California Institute of Technology to investigate how star formation in galaxies evolved from the early Universe up to the present. GALEX uses microchannel plate detectors to obtain direct images in the near-UV (NUV) and far-UV (FUV) and a grism to disperse light for low resolution spectroscopy

Publisher:

Description:
The Infrared Astronomical Satellite Archive is an implementation of the IRAS catalogue of Point Sources, Version 2.0 (IPAC 1986). This is a catalogue of some 250,000 well-confirmed infrared point sources observed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, i.e., sources with angular extents less than approximately 0.5, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 arcmin in the in-scan direction at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns, respectively.
8. 2MASS Photometric Redshift catalogue (2MPZ)

Title:
2MASS Photometric Redshift catalogue (2MPZ)
Date:

Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
The 2MASS Photometric Redshift catalogue (2MPZ) is constructed by cross-matching 2MASS XSC, WISE and SuperCOSMOS all-sky samples and employing the artificial neural network approach (the ANNz algorithm, Collister & Lahav 2004), trained on several redshift surveys (2MRS, SDSS, 6dFGS, 2dFGRS and ZCAT). The derived photometric redshifts have errors nearly independent of distance, with an all-sky accuracy of σz = 0.015, and a very small percentage of outliers. These redshift estimates have a typical precision of 12% for all the 2MASS XSC galaxies that lack spectroscopy. The resulting 2MPZ sample contains almost 1 million galaxies with a median redshift of z=0.07. This catalogue is described in Bilicki et al. 2014, ApJS, 210, 9.

Description:
The Millennium Galaxy Catalogue (MGC) is a 37.5 deg2, medium-deep, B-band imaging survey obtained with the Wide Field Camera on the INT. The survey region is a long, 35 arcmin wide strip along the equator, covering from 10h 00m to 14h 45m and is fully contained within the regions of both the Two Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
10. Personal SuperCOSMOS Science Archive (SSA)

Title:
Personal SuperCOSMOS Science Archive (SSA)
Date:
23 Jan 2024 09:43:50
Publisher:
WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
Description:
Small subset of the SuperCOSMOS Science Archive, useful for testing queries. The SuperCOSMOS data held in the SSA primarily originate from scans of Palomar and UK Schmidt blue, red and near-IR southern sky surveys. The ESO Schmidt R (dec < -17.5) and Palomar POSS-I E (dec > -17.5) surveys have also been scanned and provide a 1st epoch red measurement. Further details on the surveys, the scanning process and the raw parameters extracted can be found on the further information link. The SSA is housed in a relational database running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Data are stored in tables which are inter-linked via reference ID numbers. In addition to the astronomical object catalogues these tables also contain information on the plates that were scanned, survey field centres and calibration coefficients. Most user science queries will only need to access the SOURCE table or to a lesser extent the DETECTION table.
