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.
The Bochum Galactic Disk Survey is an ongoing project to monitor the
stellar content of the Galactic disk in a 6 degree wide stripe
centered on the Galactic plane. The data has been recorded since
mid-2010 in Sloan r and i simultaneously with the RoBoTT Telecsope at
the Universitaetssternwarte Bochum near Cerro Armazones in the Chilean
Atacama desert. It contains measurements of about 2x10^7 stars over
more than seven years. Additionally, intermittent measurements in
Johnson UVB and Sloan z have been recorded as well.
This service exposes the light curves of stars produced by the Bochum
Galactic Disk Survey; several million light curves are provided in the
SDSS i and r bands. The lightcurves are published per-band and are
also available through obscore.
The CADC provides a collection of reference surveys available using the HiPS protocol. All collections are clones of the main HIPS server at CDS (http://aladin.u-strasbg.fr/hips/). Additional services will be added as they become available.
Split spectra from the CALIFA DR3 cubes. This service serves one
spectrum each per pixel in each cube where there is at least one valid
spaxel. Where both V500 and COMB data is available, COMB spectra are
served. WARNING: The individual spectra are not independent. Also,
error estimates over wide spectral ranges based on the error estimates
served here are unreliable.
YouCat is a query service for catalogues hosted by CANFAR. This service
provides Table Access Protocol (TAP) API access to catalogues created by
project teams.
YouCat also implements a prototype VOSI-tables extension that allows users
to create, update table metadata add table content (rows), create indices,
and delete tables in the database. Users can also control access to their
own tables (public to allow anonymous querying, protected so only members
of specified groups can query, and private where only the owner can query).
Users who want to create tables must request an allocation (schema) by email
to support@canfar.net.
Currently available catalogues include: VLASS, CFHTLS, KiDS, PAndAS, RCSLens.
