Information on Service 'DASCH SIAP2'

SIAP2 service over the DASCH plates. Please note that a substantial number of plates has no calibration and hence will not be found using SIAP2 queries with positional constratints. Also, this service only returns ”narrow” plates, which here excludes plates from instruments with a field of view above 200 square degrees.

For a list of all services and tables belonging to this service's resource, see Information on resource 'DASCH in the VO'

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.

Other services provided on the underlying data include:

Spatial Coverage

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
BAND Wavelength Wavelength interval that should intersect with the dataset coverage N/A N/A
CALIB Calib. Level Calibration level of the data (0=raw data .. 3=processed science-ready data) N/A N/A

ID DID A dataset identifier to match. Note that contrary to the SIAP v2 REC, we do not compare the IVOIDs case-insensitively. This should not be an issue if you got the IVOID from this service. For IVOIDs obtained in other ways, you may need to use ILIKE or a similar facility through ObsTAP. N/A N/A
