The WFCAM Science Archive contains calibrated data from the UKIRT
Wide Field Camera (WFCAM) of both pre-planned public survey operations
(through the UKIDSS project), and of competitive smaller allocations of time
(through the PATT system). The UKIDSS surveys are as follows:
- Large Area Survey (LAS) : 3000 sq.deg. K=19
short exposures, unstacked, but later 2nd pass
- Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) xx sq.deg. K=xx
main survey : short exposures, unstacked, but later 2nd pass
some deeper stacked sub-components
- Galactic Cluster Survey (GCS) xx sq. deg. K=xx
short exposures, unstacked, but later 2nd pass
- Deep Extragalactic Survey (DXS) 35 sq.deg. K=21
longer exposures, and stacked over many nights
- Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) : 0.75 sq.deg. K=23
Very long exposure, stacked over many many nights
The data is organised in schemas, which include
tables, views, and constraints.
