Upload A List Of Object Names To Resolve Into Coordinates, Cone Search Coordinates, or Dataset IDs A file can be uploaded into the form that contains a list of object names to resolve into coordinates, coordinate pairs of Right Ascension and Declination, or Dataset IDs. The file must be in comma-separated value (CSV) format, and the top row must contain a header with column names. The header row does not need any special character in the front: the first row is always read in as the header row. The header row is case-insensitive. Warning |
---|
The uploaded file must contain at least one of three search parameters: object name (using the header "Target"), coordinate (using the headers "RA" and "Dec"), and/or dataset ID (using the header "Dataset_ID"). Remember that the headers are case-insensitive. |
- If the file contains object names, coordinates, and dataset IDs, the search form will use the dataset IDs and return those exact matches in the search results.
- If the file contains object names and coordinates, the search form will use the coordinates to perform cone searches, and it will not attempt to resolve any object names.
- If the file contains only object names, the search form will attempt to resolve them into coordinates.
The number of object names that were successfully and unsuccessfully resolved is reported, and clicking on the number of unsuccessful name resolves will display an overlay with more information and line numbers to provide further information. The columns in the uploaded file are included in the search results table on the far right, with labels of 'User File <col>'. For example, if the uploaded file contained rows labeled 'target', 'ra', 'dec', 'dataset_id' they are included in the search results table as 'User File target', 'User File ra', 'User File dec', and 'User File dataset_id'.

If there are additional columns in the uploaded CSV file, they will be included in the search result table in the far right as well. This allows additional columns to be cross-matched to the search results and thus included when exporting the search result table. |
