This DSA hosts data release 8 of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey housed at the Wide Field Astronomy Unit at the Univeristy of Edinburgh. In order to access this data you need to contact Mark Holliman at msh@roe.ac.uk to be added to the authorized users list. This catalog contains WFCAM data primarily originating from the five UKIDSS surveys: Large Area Survey, Galactic Plane Survey, Galactic Clusters Survey, Deep Extragalactic Survey and the Ultra Deep Survey (see the www.ukidss.org for survey descriptions)
This AstroGrid community is for users from the Univeristy of Edinburgh, as well as users from continental Europe who have requested AstroGrid access to UKIDSS data. It is also for those users who will be using UKIDSS heavily and would like to have their online data storage close to the actual database server.
