Information on Service 'LoTSS-PDR Source Catalogue'

Further access options are discussed below

This service queries the catalog of radio sources from the LOFAR HBA Tier-1 preliminary data release (LoTSS-PDR). This 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.

Service Documentation

Overview

You can access this service using:

static -- static (i.e. prepared) data or custom client-side code; probably used to access ancillary files here
form -- allows access via an HTML form
scs.xml -- a standard SCS interface as defined by the IVOA to access catalog-type data; SCS clients use https://vo.astron.nl/lofartier1/q/cone/scs.xml? to access the service

This service is published as follows:

Within the set(s) local with the renderer form

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