- Description:
- The GINGALOG 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 GINGALOG database entry is the first record of a series of observations having the same values of "ACS MONITOR" (Attitude Control System). When this value changes, a new FITS file was written. The other Ginga catalog database, GINGAMODE is also a subset of the same LAC dump file used to create GINGALOG. GINGAMODE contains a listing whenever any of the following changes: "BITRATE", "LACMODE", "DISCRIMINATOR", or "ACS MONITOR". Thus, GINGAMODE monitors changes in several parameters and GINGALOG is a basic log of all the FITS files. Both databases point to the corresponding archived Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) files, but GINGAMODE may have more than one entry for a given FILE_LCURVE in the database. 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 Log Catalog was prepared from data sent to NASA/GSFC from the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) in Japan. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- 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^2. 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 .

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

- 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..

- GMRT 150 MHz All-sky Radio Survey: First Alternative Data Release
- Short Name:
- TGSS
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- 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.
