Cone Search
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-id of the object you're interested in, try the AstroObject search.
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.
