🔍 Query
The Query section provides cross-matching functions for both single sources and batch uploads.
- Users must first provide RA and Dec (J2000).
- Then, select the desired photometric systems and bands for cross-matching.
- After choosing the desired output file format, click Submit to retrieve results.
For file uploads:
- Please upload a CSV file with only
raanddeccolumn headers to ensure compatibility. - It is recommended that each file contains fewer than 10 million sources. For larger datasets, we suggest using the Catalog section for full table downloads.
📂 Catalog
The Catalog section provides full access to downloadable photometric tables.
- Data precision and source references are displayed for each catalog.
- Clicking on the precision indicator shows details on the construction and validation of the data.
⚙️ User-defined
This section supports generating standard stars using your own filter response curves.
Three fields must be completed:
User file: Only FITS files are supported. The FITS must contain columns:wavelength(in Å, range: 3360–10200)function(normalized response curve)
Photometric system: e.g.,SDSSBand: e.g.,r
After uploading the file and filling in the system and band:
- Click Run to start the process.
- You can monitor job status in the Jobs table.
- If the Phase remains
pendingafter one minute, please re-upload and re-submit.
On an idle server, a typical run can generate over 200 million standard stars per band in just a few minutes.
