cds-question@unistra.frinfrared-sourcesinfrared-photometrysurveysThis paper announces the release at CDS of a substantial set of point sources detected by the DENIS project. DENIS is the first astronomical survey of the Southern sky in two near-infrared bands (J at 1.25{mu}m, and K_s_ at 2.15{mu}m) and one optical band (Gunn-i at 0.82{mu}m), conducted by a European consortium, using the 1m telescope at ESO, La Silla (Chile). The first data release, described here, consists of a preliminary set of about 17 million extracted point sources, corresponding to 102 strips (2% of the Southern sky), and resulting from observations performed in 1996.1999A&A...349..236Ehttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/II/240CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsPreviousVersionOfB/denisIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-tohttps://cds.unistra.fr/denis.html : DENIS documentationB/denis : the DENIS database (more recent release)J/A+AS/135/133 : First DENIS I-band extragalactic catalog (Vauglin+ 1999)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=II/240https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=II/240http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=II/240https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=II/240https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=II/240http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=II/240GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table II/240/denis (DENIS output (around NGC 4038))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/II/240/denis?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/II/240/denis?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/II/240/denis?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true182.75938702-56.019265060.0055555555555555560/0-11 6/7.952274030004205e-20 2.6706780932288093e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/II/240?format=asciiInfrareddefaultII/240/denisDENIS output (around NGC 4038)Ima_I?Image flags (5)meta.noteintnullableRAJ2000Right ascension (J2000)degpos.eq.ra;meta.mainDEJ2000Declination (J2000)degpos.eq.dec;meta.mainStripDENIS strip numberobs.fieldintSeqNrObject sequence number (from make_ssc)meta.idintErrPosRandom Position Errordegstat.errordoubleAp7mag_I?Magnitude from FLUX_APER 7''magphot.mag;em.opt.Ifloatnullablee_Ap7mag_I?Magnitude error from FLUXERR_APER 7''stat.errorfloatnullableAp15mag_I?Magnitude from FLUX_APER 15''magphot.mag;em.opt.Ifloatnullablee_Ap15mag_I?Magnitude error from FLUXERR_APER 15''stat.errorfloatnullableAutomag_I?Magnitude from FLUX_AUTOmagphot.mag;em.opt.Ifloatnullablee_Automag_I?Magnitude error from FLUXERR_AUTOstat.errorfloatnullableMajAxis_I?Major axis object ellipsedegphys.angSizedoublenullableMinAxis_I?Minor axis object ellipsedegphys.angSize;srcdoublenullableell_I[0,1]?
