VWDB — query

STAND-IN DATA. This catalog contains 2,279 ZTF detections and 1,000,000 synthetic fixture rows — NOT Visnjan-Washington observations. Stand-in data is loaded while the VW Data Analysis Pipeline is built. Do not use these measurements for science.

Cone search — everything within a radius of one position

RA (deg)

Dec (deg)

Radius (deg)

Polygon search — a rectangle in RA and Dec; blank means Any

RA range (deg)

Dec range (deg)

An RA range may wrap past 360 — “350 to 10” is a 20° band across zero. Leaving every box on Any would select the whole sky, so at least one range must be narrowed.

Object name search — resolve a name to a position

Object name

Type

Cone radius (deg)

Match tol. (arcsec)

A fixed object resolves through CDS and is searched with the cone radius here. A solar system body is matched against a JPL Horizons ephemeris at each observation epoch rather than searched as a region, so the radius does not apply to it — the match tolerance does.

Band

Max rows

Radius capped at 1.0°, results at 5,000 rows. Leave a field blank for its default. Results report the total found, even when more were found than shown. Same query as JSON: /api/cone?ra=185&dec=15&radius=0.05
