The WFCAM Science Archive UKIDSS databases contain calibrated data
from the
UKIRT
Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) pre-planned public survey operations
through the UKIDSS project. The UKIDSS surveys are as follows:
- Large Area Survey (LAS) : on completion, 4000 sq.deg. to K=18.4
short exposures, unstacked, but later 2nd pass
- Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) on completion, 1800 sq.deg. to K=19.0
main survey : short exposures, unstacked, but later 2nd pass
some deeper stacked sub-components
- Galactic Cluster Survey (GCS) on completion, 1000 sq. deg. to K=18.7
short exposures, unstacked, but later 2nd pass
- Deep Extragalactic Survey (DXS) 35 sq.deg. K=21 on completion
longer exposures, and stacked over many nights
- Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) : 0.75 sq.deg. K=23 on completion
Very long exposure, stacked over many many nights
The data are organised in schemas, which include
tables, views, indexes and constraints.
