Welcome

DSA/catalogue is an AstroGrid service providing IVOA-compliant access to data in a relational database.

DSA/catalog installation: SDSS Data Release 9 (DR9)

This is an AstroGrid Dataset Access installation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR9 hosted by the Wide Field Astronomy Unit (WFAU), University of Edinburgh. WFAU would like to thank John Hopkins University and the University of Chicago for permission to host the data.

Interfaces

This DSA/catalog service provides the following interfaces:

• CEC - an AstroGrid Common Execution Architecture interface for use by the AstroGrid Job Execution Service

• TAP - IVOA Table Access Protocol
