This services provides 1D spectra from DR5 of LAMOST (Large Sky Area
Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope) through SSAP;

Description:
This survey gives photometric redshifts of objects within 275 deg²
(−50◦ < α < 60◦ and −1.◦25 < δ < +1.◦25) centered on the Celestial
Equator. Each piece of sky has ∼20 runs of repeated scanning by the
SDSS camera contributing and thus reaches ∼2 mag fainter than the SDSS
single pass data, i.e., to r ∼ 23.5 for galaxies.
Within this use case you discover the shapes of galaxies and their
classification according to the Hubble diagram. You are offered
sequences of galaxies with different morphologies and are asked to
order them. The morphological classification of galaxies is still in
use even if we have discovered that the Hubble diagram "per se" has no
direct physical or evolutionary meaning. Besides introducing the main
shapes of galaxies, the use case offer a demonstration of the
classification process, a fundamental tool of astronomers.
The zCOSMOS redshift survey used 600h on the VIMOS spectrograph spread over
five observing seasons (2005-2009) to obtain spectra of about 20,000 galaxies
selected to have Iab < 22.5 across the full 1.7 deg2 of the COSMOS field.
This part, "zCOSMOS-bright", was designed to yield a high and fairly uniform
sampling rate (about 70%), with a high success rate in measuring redshifts
(approaching 100% at 0.5 < z < 0.8), and with sufficient
velocity accuracy
(about 100 km/s) to efficiently map the environments of galaxies down to the
scale of galaxy groups out to redshifts z ~ 1.
