Nearly all of the files I make for you are plain text. If they do not have an extension like .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, then they are most likely plain text. Some of the extensions have real meanings -- like .tbl is an IPAC table file, and .reg is a ds9 regions file. PARTICULARLY IF YOU HAVE A WINDOWS MACHINE, it is quite possible that your computer won't know what to do with those files. TO TRICK IT, just change the extension to be .txt. To be safe, and keep track of the "parentage" of the file, I would ''add'' rather than ''swap'' the extension, e.g., change "ysos.reg" to be "ysos.reg.txt" so that you can view the file using any text editor, but that you as a human remember that the file is really a regions file to be read and used by ds9. (And then, of course, you will subsequently need to convince ds9 that it really is a regions file!)

Revision as of 21:11, 3 June 2015

I have set up a disk in the cloud (through a service called "Box", as in box.com) on which I can distribute data for our visit. See me for the link (I don't want to link it in here directly).


Nearly all of the files I make for you are plain text. If they do not have an extension like .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, then they are most likely plain text. Some of the extensions have real meanings -- like .tbl is an IPAC table file, and .reg is a ds9 regions file. PARTICULARLY IF YOU HAVE A WINDOWS MACHINE, it is quite possible that your computer won't know what to do with those files. TO TRICK IT, just change the extension to be .txt. To be safe, and keep track of the "parentage" of the file, I would add rather than swap the extension, e.g., change "ysos.reg" to be "ysos.reg.txt" so that you can view the file using any text editor, but that you as a human remember that the file is really a regions file to be read and used by ds9. (And then, of course, you will subsequently need to convince ds9 that it really is a regions file!)


subdirectory contents and notes
proposal The final proposal, in docx and pdf formats. Camargo fig 19 here too, as a separate file, for reference.
papers All sorts of literature papers for reference. (From our initial literature searches.)
WavelengthCheatsheet.docx Cheatsheet for wavelength and terminology. Also see Central wavelengths and zero points on the wiki.
mosaics Several big mosaics, FITS format, for:
  • 2MASS -- cropped6deg1asec* = cropped out of IRSA's new 6 degree mosaics, 1 arcsec resolution; skyview* = from Skyview
  • GLIMPSE -- does NOT cover whole region, but is representative of the GLIMPSE mosaics
  • IPHAS -- does NOT cover whole region, but is representative of the IPHAS mosaics
  • POSS -- big POSS mosaics from FinderChart
  • WISE -- big WISE mosaics from FinderChart (fc*) and Skyview (skyview*)
original catalogs All the original catalogs I downloaded, prior to merging, from all of the data sources.
