Information on Service 'Web access to Bochum Galactic Disk Survey (BGDS) images'

[Use this service from your browser]

Further access options are discussed below

The Bochum Galactic Disk Survey is a project to monitor the stellar content of the Galactic disk in a 6 degree wide stripe centered on the Galactic plane. The data has been recorded from September 2010 to September 2019 with the RoBoTT Telecsope at the Universitaetssternwarte Bochum near Cerro Armazones in the Chilean Atacama desert. It contains measurements of more than 2x10^7 stars. The second and final data release contains follow-up observations from January 2017 to September 2019 in Sloan r and i and intermittent measurements in Johnson UVB, Sloan z and the narrowbands OIII, NB, Halpha and SII.

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.
