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.
This tutorial introduces a few techniques for working with image
services in the Virtual Observatory (VO) in general, using services
containing plate scans as examples. It will discuss both exploratory,
interactive use, and scripting using pyVO.
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.
