VizieR Online Data Catalog: GALEX-GR6/7 data release (Bianchi+ 2014)
Abstract
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) was a NASA Small Explorer mission which imaged the sky in 2 ultraviolet bands, FUV (far-UV) and NUV (near-UV) and provided the first UV sky surveys. Its characteristics are:
-------------------------------------------------------------------- FUV NUV -------------------------------------------------------------------- Bandwidth 1344-1786 1771-2831 (Å) Effective wavelength 1538.6 2315.7 (Å) Astrometry (R<0.6deg) 0.59 0.49 (arcsec) Photometry (1 sigma) 0.05 0.03 (ABmag) Zero point 18.82 20.08 (ABmag) Image resolution 4.2 5.3 (arcsec/pix) Spectral resolution 200 118 (δλ/λ) -------------------------------------------------------------------- GALEX data products include a series of sky imaging surveys with different depth and coverage, UV photometry of over 200 million sources, and about 100,000 slitless grism spectra. The Bianchi et al.2014 catalog includes all the FUV, NUV data at the end of the mission, for the surveys with the widest sky-coverage (AIS and MIS); it gives a unique source list (duplicate measurements are removed) and excludes the artifact-plagued data along the field rim. Details, subcatalogs, and science tools for using this catalog can be found at http://dolomiti.pha.jhu.edu/uvsky (1 data file).- Publication:
