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

patricio cubillos hace 9 meses actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 5 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!

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

Lukasz Wyrzykowski hace 9 meses actualizado hace 9 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 10 meses actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 10 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

Circle footprints via Javascript API

srcejon hace 1 año actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 1 año 1

Currently, the Javascript API docs give an example of creating a polygon footprint. E.g:

{event: 'overlayFootprints', content:{'overlaySet': {'type': 'FootprintListOverlay', 'overlayName': 'test footprints', 'cooframe': 'J2000', 'color': 'red', 'lineWidth': 5, 'skyObjectList': [{'name': 'test footprint1', 'id': 1, 'stcs': 'Polygon J2000 187.33912535049 -62.6616054228651 187.343512531474 -62.7116786437002 187.235239903703 -62.7136263115712 187.231036216914 -62.6635488923945', 'ra_deg': '187.287228500645', 'dec_deg': '-62.6876148176328'}]}}}

Is it possible to create a circle (other than by defining it as a polygon)? 


Are there any more docs for the stcs parameter?

Is the ESASky source code available somewhere?

Thanks.

Gaia propermotion direction

fargoing hace 1 año actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 1 año 1

I have noted that some targets are observed with large proper motion from Gaia DR3. But I am not clear what's the direction of the proper motion. I notice that some are marked with arrows and some are not. So how can I know the direction of the proper motion for those targets.

I have noticed poor alignment between the Gaia Focus Product Release catalogue of Omega Cen and the HST Outreach image in the same region. Can this be fixed?

"Publications" not working/Sat shadows in ESAsky

Dakota hace 1 año actualizado por Deborah Baines hace 1 año 1

Today I can't seem to get the "Publications" result to yield anything. Its hung up in an endless loading cycle. I've cleared cookies, caches, switched browsers. There also appear to be some strange shadows and tinting that look to be being caused by externals on a satellite.


GALJ2000GALJG223.5904988 -08.6562613FoV: 9.6° X 4.8°DSS2 color ; is one such example.
