The ESO Schmidt R (dec < -17.5) and Palomar POSS-I E (dec > -17.5) surveys have also been scanned and provide a 1st epoch red measurement. Further details on the surveys, the scanning process and the raw parameters extracted can be found on the further information link. The SSA is housed in a relational database running on Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Data are stored in tables which are inter-linked via reference ID numbers. In addition to the astronomical object catalogues these tables also contain information on the plates that were scanned, survey field centres and calibration coefficients. Most user science queries will only need to access the SOURCE table or to a lesser extent the DETECTION table.Digitised photographic optical all-sky photometric astrometric surveyhttps://dc.g-vo.org/rr/q/lp/custom/wfau.roe.ac.uk/ssa-dsahttp://surveys.roe.ac.uk/ssaDetection table: cone search of detections from all plate measurements in all bandsSource table: cone search of single band merged source catalogAccess to two applications: general ADQL query, and asynchronous cone-search where relevant/enabled.WFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of EdinburghWFAU, Institute for Astronomy, University of Edinburgh2009Mark Holliman <msh@roe.ac.uk>OtherAstroObjectsVersion 1astronomy
