Information on Service 'TGSSADR Source Catalogue'

[Use this service from your browser]

Further access options are discussed below

This service queries the catalogue of radio sources from the images of the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS) Alternative Data Release (up to 1 deg square). This data release contains previously unpublished data from the TIFR GMRT Sky Survey (TGSS), which has been independently reprocessed. It includes continuum stokes I images of 99.5 percent of the radio sky north of -53° DEC (3.6π sr, or 90 percent of the full sky) at a resolution of 25“ x 25” north of 19° DEC and 25“ x 25” / cos(DEC-19°) south of 19°, and a median noise of 3.5 mJy/beam. The extracted radio source catalog contains positions, flux densities, sizes and more for 0.62 Million sources down to a 7-sigma peak-to-noise threshold.

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.

Input Fields

The following fields are available to provide input to the service (with some renderers, some of these fields may be unavailable):

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.
