This table holds metadata for the “Patrol” and “Meteor” plates from
DASCH, i.e., very wide-field observations presumably not useful in
global discovery. These data products are therefore not re-published
through obscore. For the “narrow” plates, see the narrow_plates table.
This table holds metadata for the parts of DASCH counting as targeted
observations (plate scale below 400 arcsec/mm. “Patrol” and “Meteor”
plates in DASCH nomenclature are found in the wide_plates table.
From 1986 through 1991, the Astronomical Institute of Münster
University performed a search for flare stars in several southern
associations and open stellar clusters using the GPO telescope (d=40
cm, WFPDB identifier ESO040); the fields suveyed include Coalsack,
M42, B228 Lup, the Chameleon T1 association, omicron Vel cluster, R
CrA association, the Pipe nebula (B59 Oph), and the Sco-Oph
association. This was done primarily through multiple exposures. The
files published here are plate scans done in 2017.
The obscore collection name for these files is Muenster Flare Survey.
