Using the Cone Search
The cone search service supports a wide variety of input formats for coordinates:
- degrees (10.2345d)
- sexagesimal degrees (1:2:30.43d)
- sexagesimal hours (1 2 0 hours)
- degree, arcmin, and arcsec (1d2m3.4s)
- hour, minute, second (-1h2m3s)
If you are unsure of the position of a source, use the name resolver to find its coordinates. If you know the survey-ids of the objects you're interested in, and wish to download multiple data products, try the Download service.
Don't forget to include the string format identifier, e.g., for coordinates in degrees, append 'd':
See a list of astropy's angle documentation for a list of all possible formats.
The cone search uses the following tables to query positions for each survey. Find more information on each in the schema browser.
