Imaging Parameters

Which imaging parameters do you want returned from your query?

Note: "Target Imaging" refers to the imaging data (run) and/or processing (rerun) combination used in selecting targets for spectroscopic followup; "Best Imaging" refers to the "latest and greatest" run/rerun combination and therefore generally supersedes the run/rerun combination of "Target Imaging".

Caveat: In rare instances the "Best Imaging" object matched to a spectrum may NOT correspond to the original "Target Imaging" object. For example, this may occur when there were deblending problems in the "Target Imaging", such as when a bright off-center HII region was targeted instead of the parent galaxy, and where that HII region is then properly treated in the "Best Imaging" and is no longer a cataloged object. When in doubt, please compare the magnitudes and coordinates of the "Target Imaging" and "Best Imaging" objects.

Useful imaging parameter combinations:

Filter names to return (for use by DAS)

If you plan to feed the results of this form query to the Data Archive Server (DAS) data retrieval webform to get the FITS files corresponding to the selected objects, which filters (if any) do you want fed to the subsequent DAS webform query? Note that you must also include the run, rerun, camcol, field and obj columns in your output for DAS retrieval. These columns are included in the minimal output parameter selection. You must also select CSV output format and save the output to a file on your local system, then upload this file to the DAS by entering its name in the DAS form (under Step 3 "...select file to upload").

Position Constraints

Which positional constraints (if any) do you want applied to your query?

Rectangular Search

Valid formats (J2000):

• raMin/raMax in decimal degrees (D.ddddd) or in sexagesimal hours, minutes, seconds (HH:MM:SS.ss or HH MM SS.ss)
• decMin/decMax in decimal degrees (+/-DD.ddddd) or in sexagesimal degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds (+/-DD:MM:SS.s or +/-DD MM SS.s)

Cone Search

For a given RA and DEC, the cone search returns all objects within the search radius that meet your search constraints.

Valid formats (J2000):

• raCenter in decimal degrees (D.ddddd) or in sexagesimal hours, minutes, seconds (HH:MM:SS.ss or HH MM SS.ss)
• decCenter in decimal degrees (+/-DD.ddddd) or in sexagesimal degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds (+/-DD:MM:SS.s or +/-DD MM SS.s)
• radius in decimal arcminutes (M.mmm)

Proximity Search

Do you want to search the proximities for a list of ra's and dec's?

For a given RA and DEC, the proximity search returns the closest object within the search radius that meets your search constraints.

The list can be either entered directly into the webform box or uploaded as a file from your machine. In either case, it must be a comma or space separated list containing fields for ra, dec, and (optionally) sep (radius). The order of these fields in the list is unimportant, but the first line of the list must contain the order of the fields in comma- or space-separated format; e.g.:

ra, dec, sep

Valid formats (J2000):

• ra in decimal degrees (D.ddddd) or in sexagesimal hours, minutes, seconds (HH:MM:SS.ss or HH MM SS.ss)
• dec in decimal degrees (+/-DD.ddddd) or in sexagesimal degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds (+/-DD:MM:SS.s or +/-DD MM SS.s)
• sep in decimal arcseconds (S.ss)

No Position Constraint

Spectroscopy Constraints

Which spectroscopic constraints (if any) do you want applied to your query?

Redshift and Confidence

Do you want to search over a given range of redshift and redshift confidence?

Redshifts less than zero are possible (e.g., for stars), as are redshifts greater than 5 (some QSOs, but also objects with poorly measured redshifts).

Valid ranges for redshift confidence are from 0 (poor) to 1 (excellent). Setting a minimum redshift confidence of 0.95 is typical for selecting good galaxy and/or QSO redshift samples.

Spectral Classification

What type of objects (as automatically classified by their spectra) do you want returned from your query?

The options are:

name	value	description
UNKNOWN	0	Spectrum not classifiable (zConf < 0.25).
STAR	1	Spectrum of a star.
GALAXY	2	Spectrum of a galaxy.
QSO	3	Spectrum of a quasi-stellar object.
HIZ_QSO	4	Spectrum of a high-redshift quasar (z>2.3), whose redshift is confirmed by a Ly-alpha estimator (see "Spectroscopic Redshift and Type Determination" section in Algorithms).
SKY	5	Spectrum of blank sky.
STAR_LATE	6	Star dominated bt molecular bands M or later.
GAL_EM	7	Emission line galaxy (placeholder).

Primtarget

Which type of objects do you want returned from your query? (Here, the object type is from the spectroscopic target selection algorithms, where the objects have been classified photometrically or by matchup with other catalogs.) (primary target categories)

The primTarget field is a bit mask specifying which primary target categories the object was selected in. The bits are defined as:

The object types are:

• Extended Sources (e.g., galaxies)
• Point Sources (e.g., stars, QSOs)
• Sky Fibers (sky)
• Unknown (?)

Photo Flags

Which set of object flags (from photo) do wish to query on?

These flags are discussed in more detail in the document "Understanding the SDSS Image Data Processing Flags".

Photo flags can be set (ON) or (OFF). The object photo flags are:

name	value	description
CANONICAL_CENTER	0x0000000000000001	Measurements used the center in r*, rather than the locally determined center.
BRIGHT	0x0000000000000002	Object detected in first, bright object-finding; generally r*<17.5
EDGE	0x0000000000000004	Object is too close to edge of frame
BLENDED	0x0000000000000008	Object had multiple peaks detected within it; was thus a candidate to be a deblending parent.
CHILD	0x0000000000000010	Object is the product of an attempt to deblend a BLENDED object.
PEAKCENTER	0x0000000000000020	Given center is position of peak pixel, rather than based on the maximum-likelihood estimator.
NODEBLEND	0x0000000000000040	No deblending was attempted on this object, even though it is BLENDED.
NOPROFILE	0x0000000000000080	Object was too small or too close to the edge to estimate a radial profile.
NOPETRO	0x0000000000000100	No valid Petrosian radius was found for this object.
MANYPETRO	0x0000000000000200	More than one Petrosian radius was found.
NOPETRO_BIG	0x0000000000000400	Petrosian radius is beyond the last point in the radial profile.
DEBLEND_TOO_MANY_PEAKS	0x0000000000000800	There were more than 25 peaks in this object to deblend; deblended brightest 25.
COSMIC_RAY	0x0000000000001000	Contains a pixel interpreted to be part of a cosmic ray.
MANYR50	0x0000000000002000	Object has more than one 50% light radius.
MANYR90	0x0000000000004000	Object has more than one 90% light radius.
BAD_RADIAL	0x0000000000008000	Some of the points in the given radial profile have negative signal-to-noise ratio. Not a significant parameter.
INCOMPLETE_PROFILE	0x0000000000010000	Petrosian radius intersects the edge of the frame.
INTERP	0x0000000000020000	Object contains one or more pixels whose values were determined by interpolation.
SATURATED	0x0000000000040000	Object contains one or more saturated pixels
NOTCHECKED	0x0000000000080000	There are pixels in the object which were not checked to see if they included a local peak, such as cores of saturated stars.
SUBTRACTED	0x0000000000100000	This BRIGHT object had its wings subtracted from the frame
NOSTOKES	0x0000000000200000	Object has no measured Stokes params
BADSKY	0x0000000000400000	The sky level is so bad that the highest pixel in the object is very negative; far more so than a mere non-detection. No further analysis is attempted.
PETROFAINT	0x0000000000800000	At least one possible Petrosian radius was rejected as the surface brightness at r_P was too low. If NOPETRO is not set, a different, acceptable Petrosian radius was found.
TOO_LARGE	0x0000000001000000	The object is too large for us to measure its profile (it extends beyond a radius of approximately 260), or at least one child is larger than half a frame.
DEBLENDED_AS_PSF	0x0000000002000000	Deblender treated obj as PSF
DEBLEND_PRUNED	0x0000000004000000	At least one child was removed because its image was too similar to a supposedly different child.
ELLIPFAINT	0x0000000008000000	Object center is fainter than the isophote whose shape is desired, so the isophote properties are not measured. Also flagged if profile is incomplete.
BINNED1	0x0000000010000000	Object was detected in 1x1 binned image
BINNED2	0x0000000020000000	Object was detected in 2x2 binned image, after unbinned detections are replaced by background.
BINNED4	0x0000000040000000	Object was detected in 4x4 binned image
MOVED	0x0000000080000000	The deblender identified this object as possibly moving.
DEBLENDED_AS_MOVING	0x0000000100000000	A MOVED object that the deblender treated as moving.
NODEBLEND_MOVING	0x0000000200000000	A MOVED object that the deblender did not treat as moving.
TOO_FEW_DETECTIONS	0x0000000400000000	A child of this object was not detected in enough bands to reliably deblend as moving.
BAD_MOVING_FIT	0x0000000800000000	Moving fit too poor to be believable.
STATIONARY	0x0000001000000000	This object was consistent with being stationary.
PEAKS_TOO_CLOSE	0x0000002000000000	At least some peaks within this object were too close to be deblended, thus they were merged into a single peak.
MEDIAN_CENTER	0x0000004000000000	Center given is of median-smoothed image.
LOCAL_EDGE	0x0000008000000000	Center in at least one band is too close to an edge.
BAD_COUNTS_ERROR	0x0000010000000000	An object containing interpolated pixels had too few good pixels to form a reliable estimate of its error; the quoted error may be underestimated.
BAD_MOVING_FIT_CHILD	0x0000020000000000	A possible moving child's velocity fit was too poor, so it was discarded and the parent was not deblended as moving.
DEBLEND_UNASSIGNED_FLUX	0x0000040000000000	After deblending, a significant fraction of flux was not assigned to any children.
SATUR_CENTER	0x0000080000000000	Object center is close to at least one saturated pixel.
INTERP_CENTER	0x0000100000000000	Object center is close to at least one interpolated pixel.
DEBLENDED_AT_EDGE	0x0000200000000000	An object close enough to the edge of the frame normally not deblended, is deblended anyway. Only set for objects large enough to be EDGE in all fields/strips.
DEBLEND_NOPEAK	0x0000400000000000	There was no detected peak within this child in at least one band.
PSF_FLUX_INTERP	0x0000800000000000	Greater than 20% of the PSF flux is from interpolated pixels.
TOO_FEW_GOOD_DETECTIONS	0x0001000000000000	A child of this object had too few good detections to be deblended as moving.
CENTER_OFF_AIMAGE	0x0002000000000000	At least one peak's center lay off of the atlas image. This can happen when the object is deblended as moving, or if the astrometry is bad.
DEBLEND_DEGENERATE	0x0004000000000000	Two or more candidate children were essentially identical; one one was retained.
BRIGHTEST_GALAXY_CHILD	0x0008000000000000	This child is the brightest family member (in this band) that is classified as a galaxy.
CANONICAL_BAND	0x0010000000000000	This is the 'canonical' band; r unless the object is undetected in the r filter.
AMOMENT_FAINT	0x0020000000000000	Object was too faint to measure weighted moments such as mE1_g; unweighted values are reported.
AMOMENT_SHIFT	0x0040000000000000	Centroid shift too large when measuring adaptive moments. Row/Column shifts are reported in mE1, mE2.
