Information on Service 'BGDS Mean Photometry Cone Search'

[Use this service from your browser]

Further access options are discussed below

Extracted sources from the Bochum Galactic Disk Survey. We provide mean photometry in U, B, V, z, r, and i bands. Note that sources in different bands are not matched. Also, sources sitting in the regions imaged in multiple fields have not been matched even within one band. In i and r, BGDS light curves are available. See related services for details.

Overview

You can access this service using:

This service is published as follows:

local means it is listed on our front page, ivo_managed means it has a record in the VO registry.

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.

mean_mag 〈mag〉 Mean magnitude in band given in phot_band. mag phot.mag;stat.mean
obs_id Obs_id Main identifier of this observation (a single object may have multiple observations in different bands and fields) N/A meta.id;meta.main
ra Ra ICRS right ascension for this object. N/A pos.eq.ra;meta.main

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.

NameTable Head DescriptionUnitUCD Verb. Level
