- Description:
- The GINGAMODE database table contains selected information from the Large Area Counter (LAC) aboard the third Japanese X-ray astronomy satellite Ginga. The Ginga experiment began on day 36, 5 February 1987 and ended in November 1991. Ginga consisted of the LAC, the all-sky monitor (ASM) and the gamma-ray burst detector (GBD). The satellite was in a circular orbit at 31 degree inclination with apogee 670 km and perigee 510 km, and with a period of 96 minutes. A Ginga observation consisted of varying numbers of major frames which had lengths of 4, 32, or 128 seconds, depending on the setting of the bitrate. Each GINGAMODE database entry consists of data from the first record of a series of observations having the same values of the following: "BITRATE", "LACMODE", "DISCRIMINATOR", or "ACS MONITOR". When any of these changed, a new entry was written into GINGAMODE. The other Ginga catalog database, GINGALOG is also a subset of the same LAC dump file used to create GINGAMODE. GINGALOG contains a listing only whenever the "ACS monitor" (Attitude Control System) changes. Thus, GINGAMODE monitors changes in four parameters and GINGALOG is a basic log database mapping the individual FITS files. Ginga FITS files may have more than one entries in the GINGAMODE database. Both databases point to the same archived Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) files created from the LAC dump files. The user is invited to browse though the observations available from Ginga using GINGALOG or GINGAMODE, then extract the FITS files for more detailed analysis. The Ginga LAC Mode Catalog was prepared from data sent to NASA/GSFC from the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) in Japan. <p> Duplicate entries were removed from the HEASARC implementation of this catalog in June 2019.

- Description:
- The GINGARAW database table provides access to the raw GINGA files in FITS format for the LAC experiment. Ginga was the third Japanese X-ray astronomy satellite. It was launched into low Earth orbit on 5th February 1987 and re-entered the atmosphere on 1st November 1991. The scientific payload consisted of the Large Area Counter (LAC; Turner et al. 1989), the All-Sky Monitor (ASM; Tsunemi et al. 1989) and the Gamma-ray Burst Detector (GBD; Murakami et al. 1989). A full description of the satellite is given in Makino et al. (1987). During its lifetime Ginga performed over 1000 pointed observations of approximately 350 different targets, covering all then known classes of cosmic X-ray sources. The LAC experiment, sensitive to X-rays with energy 1.5-37 keV, was the main scientific instrument aboard Ginga. It was designed and built under a Japan-UK collaboration (ISAS, U. Tokyo, Nagoya U., U. Leicester, Rutherford Appleton Lab). It consisted of an array of eight collimated co-aligned proportional counters with a total effective area of approximately 4000 cm<sup>2</sup>. Steel collimators restricted the field of view to 1.1 x 2.0 degrees (FWHM). This database table was last updated by the HEASARC in August 2005. Galactic coordinates were added and some parameters were renamed to adhere to the HEASARC's current parameter naming conventions. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- The GINGALAC database table contains a summary of the contents of the Ginga pointed observations. This table has been produced from the raw Ginga LAC First Reduction Files (FRFs) and contains information of the individual pointings in addition to FITS spectra and light curves, HDS and FITS data cubes and the plots produced during the pipeline processing. These products can be used with either the Ginga data analysis software or the <a href="/docs/xanadu/xanadu.html">XANADU software suite</a>. This archive (database and all the associated products) is a copy of the GINGA LAC data products held at the Leicester Data Archive Service (<a href="http://ledas-www.star.le.ac.uk">http://ledas-www.star.le.ac.uk</a>). It was delivered to the HEASARC in 1999 as part of an archive exchange between the data centers. The original version was updated in October 2008, when the positions (which had been created assuming the wrong equinox) were corrected; in addition, the values of the nh parameter were corrected.

- GLEAM 72-103: GaLactic and Extragalactic Allsky MWA Survey
- Short Name:
- GLEAM1

- Description:
- GLEAM, the GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA survey, is a survey of the entire radio sky south of declination 30 degrees at frequencies between 72 and 231 MHz. It was made with the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) using a drift scan method that makes efficient use of the MWA's very large field-of-view. The survey is described in Wayth et al. (2015) and the <a href="https://www.mwatelescope.org/gleam">website</a> at https://www.mwatelescope.org/gleam. <p> The data presented here are from the first year of GLEAM observing, published in: <ul> <li> Hurley-Walker et al. (2017): 25,000 square degrees of extragalactic sky <li> For et al. (2018): the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds <li> Hurley-Walker et al. (2019c): 8,000 square degrees of the Galactic plane </ul> A region around Centaurus A, a few other small regions described by Hurley-Walker et al. (2017), and the Galactic plane between 180 < l < 345 degrees, are not available. <p> The most sensitive and highest-resolution image is the 170-231MHz image which was used for all source-finding in generating the catalogue. It has a resolution of approximately 2.2 x 2.2/cos (dec + 26.7) arcmin at this frequency. However, due to ionospheric distortions, the final resolution of the survey varies by ~10% over the sky, with a direction-dependent PSF. <p> The <i>SkyView</i> data for the GLEAM surveys was extracted using the team's cutout server, into small (3 degree) raw cutouts over the region covered by the GLEAM survey. These cutouts have somewhat variable size and resolution. The default scale (i.e., pixel size) used for <i>SkyView</i> images is given in the table below. Since the GLEAM cutout server will not create an appropriately sized tile for the Sourth Pole, a larger tile offset from the pole is used. <p> <i>SkyView</i> resamples the cutouts retreived from the GLEAM website into the image geometry requested by the user. Only four wide-band datasets are included. The table below gives the frequency range, central frequency and a typical pixel scale for each of these bands. <table border> <tr><th colspan=5> GLEAM Bands In <i>SkyView</i> </th></tr> <tr><th>Band</th> <th>f<sub>min</sub> (MHz)</th> <th>f<sub>max</sub> (MHz)</th> <th>f<sub>C</sub> (MHz)</tg> <th>Pixel scale (") </th> </tr> <tr> <td> 1 </td><td> 72 </td><td>103 </td><td> 88 </td> <td> 56 </td></tr> <tr> <td> 2 </td><td>103 </td><td>134 </td><td>118 </td> <td> 44 </td></tr> <tr> <td> 3 </td><td>138 </td><td>170 </td><td>155 </td> <td> 34 </td></tr> <tr> <td> 4 </td><td>170 </td><td>231 </td><td>200 </td> <td> 28 </td></tr> </table> These data and 20 narrower bands are available through the team website. <p> To minimize resampling artifacts, this survey defaults to the Lanczos third order resampler. SkyView tracks the size and orientation of the beam as given in each of the tiles and includes the averaged value (i.e., the average of the input images weighted by the output pixels sampled from each input) in the BMAJ, BMIN, and BPA keywords of any result FITS file. Provenance: Source data extracted as cutouts from <a href="http://gleam-vo.icrar.org/gleam_postage/q/form">GLEAM cutout server</a> in March 2020 with updates in July 2020..

- Gliese Catalog of Nearby Stars, 3rd Edition
- Short Name:
- CNS3
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The CNS3 catalog contains all known stars as of 1991 that are within 25 parsecs of the Sun. It depends mainly on a preliminary version (Spring 1989) of the new General Catalogue of Trigonometric Parallaxes (YPC) prepared by Dr. William F. van Altena (Yale University). The catalog contains every then-known star with a trigonometric parallax greater than or equal to 0.0390 arcsec, even though it may be evident from photometry or for other reasons that the star has a larger distance. For red dwarf stars, new color-magnitude calibrations for broad-band colors were carried out and applied. For white dwarfs, the recipes of McCook and Sion in ApJS, 65, 603 (1987) were applied. Stroemgren photometry was used (not yet systematically) for early-type stars and for late dwarfs, the latter supplied by E. H. Olsen from Copenhagen Observatory (private communication). In contrast to the CNS2 (Gliese 1969) catalog, trigonometric parallaxes and photometric or spectroscopic parallaxes were not combined in this version. The resulting parallax in the present version is the trigonometric parallax if the relative error of the trigonometric parallax is smaller than 14 percent. The parallax may be the photometric or spectroscopic parallax only if no trigonometric parallax is available or if the standard error of the trigonometric parallax is considerably larger. The original catalog and the notes describing it were prepared by Wilhelm Gliese and Hartmut Jahreiss, Astronomisches Rechen-Institut, Moenchhofstrasse 12-14, D-6900 Heidelberg 1, Germany, in 1991. The CDS has made a number of formatting and documentation changes in the period 1994-1997, e.g., in December 1997 it added a running number to the name for 1388 stars which had all been given the same name of "NN" in the original version, starting with "NN 3001" (for the first "NN" star in order of 1950 RA), and ending with "NN 4388" (for the last "NN" star in order of 1950 RA). This revised version of the catalog (CDS/ADC Catalog V/70A) was used by the HEASARC to create this database in February 2001. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Gliese Catalog Stars with Accurate Coordinates and 2MASS Cross-Identifications
- Short Name:
- GLIESE2MAS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains precise epoch 2000 coordinates and cross-identifications to sources in the 2MASS Point Source Catalog for nearly all stars in the Gliese, Gliese-Jahreiss, and Woolley catalogs of nearby stars. The only Gliese objects where the authors were not successful are two Gliese sources that are actually QSOs; two proposed companions to brighter stars, which they believe do not exist; four stars included in one of the catalogs but identified there as only optical companions; one probable plate flaw; and two stars that simply remain unrecovered. For the 4251 recovered stars, 2693 have coordinates based on Hipparcos positions, 1549 have coordinates based on 2MASS data, and 9 have positions from other astrometric sources. All positions have been calculated at epoch 2000 using proper motions from the literature, which are also given here. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/PASP/122/885">CDS Catalog J/PASP/122/885</a> file table1.dat.

- Globular Cluster Systems of Galaxies Catalog
- Short Name:
- GCSCAT
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains a catalog of 422 galaxies with published measurements of their globular cluster (GC) populations. Of these, 248 are E galaxies, 93 are S0 galaxies, and 81 are spirals or irregulars. Among various correlations of the total number of GCs with other global galaxy properties, the authors find that the number of globular clusters N<sub>GC</sub> correlates well though nonlinearly with the dynamical mass of the galaxy bulge M<sub>dyn</sub> = 4 sigma _e_<sup>2</sup> R<sub>e</sub>/G, where sigma<sub>e</sub> is the central velocity dispersion and R<sub>e</sub> the effective radius of the galaxy light profile. In their paper, the authors also present updated versions of the GC specific frequency S<sub>N</sub> and specific mass S<sub>M</sub> versus host galaxy luminosity and baryonic mass. These graphs exhibit the previously known U-shape: highest S<sub>N</sub> or S<sub>M</sub> values occur for either dwarfs or supergiants, but in the mid-range of galaxy size (10<sup>9</sup> - 10<sup>10</sup> L<sub>sun</sub>) the GC numbers fall along a well-defined baseline value of S<sub>N</sub> ~= 1 or S<sub>M</sub> = 0.1, similar among all galaxy types. Along with other recent discussions, the authors suggest that this trend may represent the effects of feedback, which systematically inhibited early star formation at either very low or very high galaxy mass, but which had its minimum effect for intermediate masses. Their results strongly reinforce recent proposals that GC formation efficiency appears to be most nearly proportional to the galaxy halo mass M<sub>halo</sub>. The mean "absolute" efficiency ratio for GC formation that the authors derive from the catalog data is M<sub>GCS</sub>/M<sub>halo</sub> = 6 x 10<sup>-5</sup>. They suggest that the galaxy-to-galaxy scatter around this mean value may arise in part because of differences in the relative timing of GC formation versus field-star formation. Finally, they find that an excellent empirical predictor of total GC population for galaxies of all luminosities is N<sub>GC</sub> ~ (R<sub>e</sub> sigma<sub>e</sub>)<sup>1.3</sup>, a result consistent with fundamental plane scaling relations. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2014 based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ web site. A duplicate entry for NGC 4417 was removed in June 2019. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- GMRT 150 MHz All-sky Radio Survey: First Alternative Data Release
- Short Name:
- TGSS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The first full release of a survey of the 150 MHz radio sky observed with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope between April 2010 and March 2012 as part of the TGSS project. Aimed at producing a reliable compact source survey, the automated data reduction pipeline efficiently processed more than 2000 hours of observations with minimal human interaction. Through application of innovative techniques such as image-based flagging, direction-dependent calibration of ionospheric phase errors, correcting for systematic offsets in antenna pointing, and improving the primary beam model, good quality images were created for over 95 percent of the 5336 pointings. This data release covers 36,900 square degrees (or 3.6 pi steradians) of the sky between -53 deg and +90 deg DEC, which is 90 percent of the total sky. The majority of pointing images have a background RMS noise below 5 mJy/beam with an approximate resolution of 25" x 25" (or 25" x 25" / cos (DEC - 19 deg) for pointings south of 19 deg DEC). The associated catalog has 640 thousand radio sources derived from an initial, high reliability source extraction at the 7 sigma level. The measured overall astrometric accuracy is better than 2" in RA and DEC, while the flux density accuracy is estimated at ~10 percent. Data is stored as 5336 mosaic images (5 deg x 5 deg). <p> <i>SkyView</i> uses Lanczos resampling and Sqrt image scaling by default for this survey. Provenance: TGS ADR Team.
