Welcome

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

DSA/catalog installation: VIKING DR4

This DSA hosts data release 4 of the VISTA Kilo-degree Infrared Galaxy survey (VIKING) housed at the Wide Field Astronomy Unit at the Univeristy of Edinburgh. The VIKING survey is the VISTA counterpart to the VST KIDS survey. The KIDS survey will cover 1500 deg^2 in u,g,r,i divided in two stripes (NGP, centred on equator ; SGP, centred on Dec = -30). The matching VISTA survey will cover (almost) all of these stripes in Z,Y,J,H, Ks with ~ 400s exposures per band.

Interfaces

This DSA/catalog service provides the following interfaces:

• CEC - an AstroGrid Common Execution Architecture interface for use by the AstroGrid Job Execution Service
• Cone Search - IVOA Simple Cone-Search, a search on sky position. (This interface is optional, and can be disabled in your DSA/catalog configuration.)
• TAP - IVOA Table Access Protocol

Installation Notes

Please see the documentation index (via the top-left menu on this page) for installation instructions. If you are upgrading an existing DSA installation it is important also to read the release notes: these will warn you if you need to adapt your configuration files.
