HOW-TO Images and catalogs in Astro-WISE

This section gives an overview of all database table names (and Python class names) representing images and catalogs. Where possible a reference/link is provided to the appropriate HOW-TO.

See also the page shortcuts to datasets, which contains links to tables in the database for several datasets.

Catalogs

Below are several tables describing the handling of catalogs in Astro-WISE.

Table: Overview of naming scheme for catalogs

Catalogs	Description
SourceList	E.g. SExtractor catalog
AssociateList	Contains lists of SourceList ID and Source ID pairs

Table: Overview of naming scheme for classes pointing to SourceLists

Classes pointing to SourceLists	Description
GalFitModel	Galfit model of a single source in a SourceList
GalPhotModel	Galphot model of a single source in a SourceList

Table: Overview of naming scheme for classes creating new SourceLists

Classes creating new SourceList(s)	Description
CombinedList	A SourceList which is the combination of two other SourceLists
PhotRedCatalog	Links a new SourceList with photometric redshifts to
	all associated input SourceLists and an AssociateList
LightCurve	(MDIA) Creates several SourceLists to store result
	of variability determination

Table: Overview of naming scheme for other classes related to catalogs

Other catalogs	Description
VariabilityFrame	(VODIA) Stores a catalog in file format with light curves
