Vizier catalogue overlay (for Herschel Galactic Plane data)

Roland Vavrek hace 8 años actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 2 años 3

The Hi-Gal Consortium public database provides an incremental access to compact source catalogues through Vizier (http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-3?-source=J/A%2bA/591/A149&-out.max=50&-out.form=HTML%20Table&-out.add=_r&-out.add=_RAJ,_DEJ&-sort=_r&-oc.form=sexa) as well as through the Vialactea Project web-interface (http://tools.asdc.asi.it/HiGAL.jsp).


It would be a useful scientific tool and a great added value if EsaSky can provide a capability to overlay catalogues on background intensity maps. The interwoven structure of filaments Herschel resolves in large-scale images are well correlated with locations of starless and star forming cores. An overlay functionality could guide scientist to identify 'interesting' areas for follow-up studies. Filtering of overlaid sources based on catalogued observables (colours, photometry, size, shape parameters etc.) could further enhance the science use of such functionality.

Projection in 7.0

Casey hace 2 meses actualizado hace 2 meses 2

Hi, hope you're well. I have a question about the new default projection in 7.0. Is there a way to toggle between the new projection (from the inside of a sphere) and the old one (from the outside of a sphere)? Thanks!

overlayFootprints over Javascript API ignores color

patricio cubillos hace 6 meses actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 6 meses 2

Hi,

I'm drawing a circle footprint around my target of interest, and it seems that the Javascript command is ignoring my color input. Below is an example of a command I'm sending.  I'm always getting a red circle no matter what I set as color.

{'event': 'overlayFootprints',
'content': {'overlaySet': {'type': 'FootprintListOverlay',
'overlayName': 'visit splitting distance',
'cooframe': 'J2000',
'color': '#15B01A',
'lineWidth': 5,
'skyObjectList': [{'name': 'visit splitting distance',
'id': 1,
'stcs': 'CIRCLE ICRS 315.02596610 -5.09485700 0.0222',
'ra_deg': '315.02596610',
'dec_deg': '-5.09485700'}]}}}

How to select/deselect a row in a catalog from a Javascript command?

patricio cubillos hace 6 meses actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 3 meses 4

Hi,

Is it possible to select or de-select rows in a catalog thought the Javascript API?

Ultimately, I want to highlight targets as the user clicks into a list of the entries of the catalog (which is in a separate HTML component)

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm creating a catalog with overlayCatalogue through the Javascript API. Is there a way to set the units for the columns?

Thanks!

Is it possible to open all HIPS available for the current view automatically?

Lukasz Wyrzykowski hace 7 meses actualizado hace 6 meses 2

Now I need to go through all wavelengths and surveys to check which ones are there. I would like to automatically check which HIPS are available for the current location and be able to load them all in the HIPS list.

Please make available for download the full 24k x 24x resolution images from Euclid

Jerry L hace 8 meses actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 8 meses 3

Hi, 
  ESASky is great, but I prefer to zoom and pan on my own from a full resolution image file on my computer. Could you please make available the full resolution files available for every Euclid image? And if not, why not? Thanks
