Table information for 'lamost6.ssa_lrs'

General

Table Description: SSA-compliant metadata for LAMOST DR6 low resolution spectra; this data is also availble through Obscore; the collection name there is LAMOST6 LRS.

This table is available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: LAMOST, the The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (or Guoshoujing Telescope) is an instrument tailored for producing large number of optical medium- and low-resolution spectra. Here, we publish both the medium (MRS) and low (LRS) resolution spectra from Data Release 6, http://dr6.lamost.org/v2/, to the Virtual Observatory.

For a list of all services and tables belonging to this table's resource, see Information on resource 'LAMOST DR6 Spectra'
