Information on Service 'LOFARTIER 1 Source Catalogue'

[Use this service from your browser]

Further access options are discussed below

The LOFAR HBA Tier-1 preliminary data release contains images and catalogs that characterise the low-frequency radio emission in the region of the HETDEX Spring Field. In excess of 40,000 sources are detected in the images that cover an area of over 350 square degrees, have a resolution of 25 arcsec, and typical noise levels of less than 0.5 mJy/beam.

Overview

You can access this service using:

This service is published as follows:

local means it is listed on our front page, ivo_managed means it has a record in the VO registry.

VOTable Output Fields

The following fields are available in VOTable output. The verbosity level is a number intended to represent the relative importance of the field on a scale of 1 to 30. The services take a VERB argument. A field is included in the output if their verbosity level is less or equal VERB*10.
