Information on Service 'Stripe 82 Photometric Redshifts from SDSS Coadditions'

[Use this service from your browser]

Further access options are discussed below

This survey gives photometric redshifts of objects within 275 deg² (−50◦ < α < 60◦ and −1.◦25 < δ < +1.◦25) centered on the Celestial Equator. Each piece of sky has ∼20 runs of repeated scanning by the SDSS camera contributing and thus reaches ∼2 mag fainter than the SDSS single pass data, i.e., to r ∼ 23.5 for galaxies.

Input Fields

The following fields are available to provide input to the service (with some renderers, some of these fields may be unavailable):

NameTable Head DescriptionUnitUCD

Default Output Fields

The following fields are contained in the output by default. More fields may be available for selection; these would be given below in the VOTable output fields.

VOTable Output Fields

The following fields are available in VOTable output. The verbosity level is a number intended to represent the relative importance of the field on a scale of 1 to 30. The services take a VERB argument. A field is included in the output if their verbosity level is less or equal VERB*10.
