- Title:
- VHS DR4 - VISTA Hemisphere Survey Data Release 4
- Date:
- 23 Jan 2024 09:46:50
- Publisher:
- WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
- Description:
- The VHS will image the entire ~20 000 square degrees of the Southern Sky, with the exception of the areas already covered by the VIKING and VVV surveys, in J and Ks. The resulting data will be about 4 magnitudes deeper than 2MASS and DENIS. The 5000 square degrees covered by the Dark Energy Survey (DES), another imaging survey scheduled to begin in 2010 at the CTIO 4 metre Blanco telescope, will also be observed in H-band. The area around both of the Galactic Caps will be observed in Y- and H- band as well to be combined with the data from the VST ATLAS survey. The main science drivers of the VHS include: examining low mass and nearby stars, studying the merger history of the Galaxy, measuring the properties of Dark Energy through the examination of large-scale structure to a redshift of ~1, and searches for high redshift quasars.

- Publisher:
- WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
- Description:
- The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite is a NASA mission led by the California Institute of Technology to investigate how star formation in galaxies evolved from the early Universe up to the present. GALEX uses microchannel plate detectors to obtain direct images in the near-UV (NUV) and far-UV (FUV) and a grism to disperse light for low resolution spectroscopy

- Publisher:
- WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh
- Description:
- This DSA hosts data release 1 of the ATLAS Survey housed at the Wide Field Astronomy Unit at the Univeristy of Edinburgh. The initial aim of ATLAS is to survey 4500 deg2 of the Southern Sky at high galactic latitudes to comparable depths to the SDSS in the North. The VST ATLAS will be the first step towards a panoramic digital survey of the Southern Sky in the optical bands. The ATLAS will complement the proposed VISTA Hemisphere Survey in the South.

- Description:
- In this data release from the ongoing LOw-Frequency ARray (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) we present 120-168 MHz images covering 27% of the northern sky. Our coverage is split into two regions centred at approximately 12h45m +44°30′ and 1h00m +28°00′ and spanning 4178 and 1457 square degrees respectively. The images were derived from 3,451 hrs (7.6 PB) of LOFAR High Band Antenna data which were corrected for the direction-independent instrumental properties as well as direction-dependent ionospheric distortions during extensive, but fully automated, data processing. A catalogue of 4,395,448 radio sources is derived from our total intensity (Stokes I) maps, where the majority of these have never been detected at radio wavelengths before. At 6′′ resolution, our full bandwidth Stokes I continuum maps with a central frequency of 144 MHz have: a median rms sensitivity of 83 μ Jy/beam; a flux density scale accuracy of approximately 10%; an astrometric accuracy of 0.2′′; and we estimate the point-source completeness to be 90% at a peak brightness of 0.8 mJy/beam. By creating three 16 MHz bandwidth images across the band we are able to measure the in-band spectral index of many sources, albeit the error on the derived spectral index is > ±0.2 which is a consequence of our flux-density scale accuracy and small fractional bandwidth. Our circular polarisation (Stokes V) 20′′ resolution 120-168 MHz continuum images have a median rms sensitivity of 95 μ Jy/beam, and we estimate a Stokes I to Stokes V leakage of 0.056%. Our linear polarisation (Stokes Q and Stokes U) image cubes consist of 480 97.6 kHz wide planes and have a median rms sensitivity per plane of 10.8mJy/beam at 4′ and 2.2mJy/beam at 20′′; we estimate the Stokes I to Stokes Q/U leakage to be approximately 0.2%. Here we characterise and publicly release our Stokes I, Q, U and V images in addition to the calibrated uv-data to facilitate the thorough scientific exploitation of this unique dataset. This service queries the Stokes I continuum mosaic gaussian component catalogue.

- Description:
- IThe Japanese satellite-borne infrared telescope, the Infrared Telescope in Space (IRTS), surveyed about 7 per-cent of the entire sky in the infrared wavelengths from 1.4 to 700 um. The IRTS consists of a 15 cm telescope cooled with superfluid liquid helium, and is installed on board the Space Flyer Unit (SFU) spacecraft. The SFU was launched on 1995 March 18 UT. The sky survey by the IRTS started on March 29 UT, and was completed on April 25 UT after exhausting its liquid helium. The four focal-plane instruments were on board. The Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (MIRS) covered 4.5 to 11.7 um by 32 spectral channels with the resolution of Δλ = 0.23-0.36 um. The MIRS point source catalog contains spectra of 536 sources. Many of the detected sources are mas-losing stars. A few HII regions and one asteroid 01 Ceres are included.

The Near-Infrared Spectrometer (NIRS) covered 1.4 to 4.0 μm by 24 spectral channels with the resolution of Δλ = 0.13 μm. The complete level of the catalog is 10?20 Jy for the entire wavelength range. The NIRS point source catalog contains spectra of 14,223 sources in which 4,002 sources are in good quality. Late-type stars, normal stars, and other red objects are included.
