Information on resource 'BGDS DR2 time series'

From the Bochum Galactic Disk Survey, time series have been obtained in the r and i bands on an (up to) nightly basis. Depending on the field, the time series contain up to more than 300 nights over 9 years. Each measurement in r and i represents the averaged flux over 10 minutes of observation (from 9 averaged 10s images). Additionally, intermittent measurements in Johnson UVB, Sloan z and the narrowbands OIII, NB, Halpha and SII have been recorded as well.

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 in Sloan r and i simultaneously with the Robotic Bochum Twin Telescope (RoBoTT) at the Universitaetssternwarte Bochum near Cerro Armazones in the Chilean Atacama desert. It contains measurements of about 2x10^7 stars over nine years.

The source images are available from ivo://org.gavo.dc/bgds/q/sia.

The time series from BGDS DR2 by default come as IVOA Spectral Data Model compliant VOTables. If you what plain text instead, add &format=txt to the dlget URIs. The columns you get back then are epoch in MJD, magnitude and magnitude error in mag, and a link to a cutout showing where the measurement came from.
