Description:
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) aims to measure the redshifts of around 150 000 galaxies, and the peculiar velocities of a 15 000-member subsample, over almost the entire southern sky. The table called Spectra contains the redshifts and qualities of all the observations. When complete, it will be the largest redshift survey of the nearby Universe, reaching out to about z ~ 0.15, and more than an order of magnitude larger than any peculiar velocity survey to date. The targets are all galaxies brighter than K tot = 12.75 in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (XSC), supplemented by 2MASS and SuperCOSMOS galaxies that complete the sample to limits of (H, J , r F, bJ) = (13.05, 13.75, 15.6, 16.75). This is the Data Release 3 version.
With time, all HEAVENS products should become available on the Virtual Observatory.
In some cases this requires an enhancement of the Virtual Observatory standards.
For now the following HEAVENS services are available through the VO:
- SIAP Image cutout service for INTEGRAL/ISGRI and JEM-X
- Timeseries service for INTEGRAL/ISGRI, JEM-X and OMC
Wished features include:
- Extended Query Parameters for time intervals
- Extended Query Parameters for energy bands
- Timeseries service for INTEGRAL/IREM and SPI-ACS
- Spectra service for all INTEGRAL instruments
