Table information for 'carsarcs.meta'

General

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

Resource Description: Candidate gravitational arcs in the 37 deg^2 of CFHTLS-Archive-Research Survey (CARS). The data include their post-stamp images, astrometry, photometry (u*,g',r',i'), geometric properties (length, length-to-width ratio, profile curvature, area), and photometric redshifts. The arc candidates were selected booth with an automatic arcfinder, based on a tailored image segmentation and a color selection, and by visually inspecting the survey.

Citing this table

This table has an associated publication. If you use data from it, it may be appropriate to reference 2014A&A...567A.111M (ADS BibTeX entry for the publication) either in addition to or instead of the service reference.

To cite the table as such, we suggest the following BibTeX entry:

@MISC{vo:carsarcs_meta,
  year=2013,
  title={Magnitudes, redshifts, positions, etc. of the arcs found in {CARS}.},
  author={Maturi, M. and Mizera, S. and Seidel, G.},
  url={http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/tableinfo/carsarcs.meta},
  howpublished={{VO} resource provided by the {GAVO} Data Center}
