Methods Documentation

find_sso(sso_name, *, sso_type='ALL', cache=True)[source]¶

This method allows you to find solar and extra solar system objects with a given name. ESASky is using IMCCE’s SsODNet to resolve the objects.

Parameters

sso_namestr: A name or alias of a solar system object recognized by SsODNet.
sso_typestr, optional: Can be any of the sso types found in SSO_TYPES. Defaults to ‘all’.
cachebool, optional: When set to True the method will use a cache located at .astropy/astroquery/cache. Defaults to True.

Returns

listlist: Returns a list of object matching your search. Each mission match has sso_name, sso_type, and aliases.

Examples

find_sso(sso_name=”Pallas”) find_sso(sso_name=”503”) find_sso(sso_name=”503”, sso_type=”SATELLITE”)

table_listTableList: Each mission returns a Table with the metadata of the catalogs available for the chosen mission and region. It is structured in a TableList like this: TableList with 2 tables: ‘HIPPARCOS-2’ with 7 column(s) and 2 row(s) ‘HSC’ with 9 column(s) and 10000 row(s)

Examples

query_region_catalogs(“m101”, “14’”, “all”)

import astropy.units as u query_region_catalogs(“265.05, 69.0”, 14*u.arcmin, “Hipparcos-2”) query_region_catalogs(“265.05, 69.0”, 14*u.arcmin, [“Hipparcos-2”, “HSC”])

query_region_maps(position, radius, missions='all', get_query_payload=False, cache=True, row_limit=10000)[source]¶

This method queries a chosen region for all available maps and returns a TableList with all the found maps metadata for the chosen missions and region.

Parameters

positionstr or astropy.coordinates object: Can either be a string of the location, eg ‘M51’, or the coordinates of the object.
radiusstr or Quantity: The radius of a region.
missionsstr or list, optional: Can be either a specific mission or a list of missions (all mission names are found in list_missions()) or ‘all’ to search in all missions. Defaults to ‘all’.
get_query_payloadbool, optional: When set to True the method returns the HTTP request parameters. Defaults to False.
cachebool, optional: When set to True the method will use a cache located at .astropy/astroquery/cache. Defaults to True.
row_limitint, optional: Determines how many rows that will be fetched from the database for each mission. Can be -1 to select maximum (currently 100 000). Defaults to 10000.

Returns

table_listTableList: Each mission returns a Table with the metadata and observations available for the chosen missions and region. It is structured in a TableList like this: TableList with 2 tables: ‘HERSCHEL’ with 12 column(s) and 152 row(s) ‘HST-OPTICAL’ with 12 column(s) and 71 row(s)

Examples

query_region_maps(“m101”, “14’”, “all”)

query_region_spectra(position, radius, missions='all', row_limit=10000, get_query_payload=False, cache=True)[source]¶

This method queries a chosen region for all available spectra and returns a TableList with all the found spectra metadata for the chosen missions and region.

Parameters

positionstr or astropy.coordinates object: Can either be a string of the location, eg ‘M51’, or the coordinates of the object.
radiusstr or Quantity: The radius of a region.
missionsstr or list, optional: Can be either a specific mission or a list of missions (all mission names are found in list_spectra()) or ‘all’ to search in all missions. Defaults to ‘all’.
row_limitint, optional: Determines how many rows that will be fetched from the database for each mission. Can be -1 to select maximum (currently 100 000). Defaults to 10000.
get_query_payloadbool, optional: When set to True the method returns the HTTP request parameters. Defaults to False.
cachebool, optional: When set to True the method will use a cache located at .astropy/astroquery/cache. Defaults to True.

Returns

table_listTableList: Each mission returns a Table with the metadata and observations available for the chosen missions and region. It is structured in a TableList like this: TableList with 2 tables: ‘HERSCHEL’ with 12 column(s) and 264 row(s) ‘IUE’ with 12 column(s) and 14 row(s)

Examples

query_region_spectra(“m101”, “14’”, “all”)

import astropy.units as u query_region_spectra(“265.05, 69.0”, 30*u.arcmin, “Herschel”) query_region_spectra(“265.05, 69.0”, 30*u.arcmin, [“Herschel”, “IUE”])

query_sso(sso_name, *, sso_type='ALL', missions='all', row_limit=10000)[source]¶

This method performs a crossmatch on the chosen solar system object and the selected missions using ESASky’s crossmatch algorithm. The algorithm detects both targeted and serendipitous observations. It returns a TableList with all the found maps metadata for the chosen missions and object.

Parameters

sso_namestr: A name or alias of a solar system object recognized by SsODNet.
sso_typestr, optional: Can be any of the sso types found in SSO_TYPES. Defaults to ‘all’.
missionsstr or list, optional: Can be either a specific mission or a list of missions (all mission names are found in list_sso()) or ‘all’ to search in all missions. Defaults to ‘all’. .astropy/astroquery/cache. Defaults to True.
row_limitint, optional: Determines how many rows that will be fetched from the database for each mission. Can be -1 to select maximum (currently 100 000). Defaults to 10000.

Returns

table_listTableList: Each mission returns a Table with the metadata and observations available for the chosen missions and object. It is structured in a TableList like this: TableList with 2 tables: ‘HERSCHEL’ with 12 column(s) and 152 row(s) ‘HST’ with 12 column(s) and 6 row(s)

Examples

query_sso(sso_name=”Pallas”, missions=”HST”) query_sso(sso_name=”503”, sso_type=”SATELLITE”) query_sso(sso_name=”503”, sso_type=”SATELLITE”, missions=[“XMM”, “HST”])
