Information on Service 'zCOSMOS 20k Bright Datalink Service'

Spectra from the third data release (DR3) of zCOSMOS 20k bright.

For a list of all services and tables belonging to this service's resource, see Information on resource 'zCOSMOS 20k Bright Spectra'

Service Documentation

zCOSMOS is a large redshift survey undertaken in the COSMOS field using the VIMOS spectrograph mounted at the Melipal Unit Telescope of the VLT at ESO's Cerro Paranal Observatory, Chile.

This resource contain the 20,689 spectra of the DR3 release.

NOTES

To the original zCOSMOS spectra, we added to the primary header the Z_SPEC keyword with the spectroscopic redshift and the CC one with the Confidence Class.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

When using data products provided in this release, acknowledgement should please be given in the text to the zCOSMOS project, referring to this release and Lilly et al. 2009, ApJS, 184, 218 until superseded by a later version.

Please also make sure that the following statement appears in your acknowledgements when using these data:

Based on zCOSMOS observations carried out using the Very Large Telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory under Programme ID: LP175.A-0839.

Overview

You can access this service using:

dlmeta -- a datalink interface for discovering access options (processed data, related datasets...) for a dataset. You usually need a publisherDID to use this kind of service. For special applications, the base URL of this service might still come handy: https://vo.lam.fr/zcosmos_20k/q/sdl/dlmeta
dlget -- a datalink interface letting specialized clients retrieve parts of datasets or discover related data. You use this kind of service exclusively in combination with a pubdid, usually via a direct link.

This service is not published. This can mean that it was deemed too unimportant, for internal use only, or is just a helper for a published service. Equally likely, however, it is under development, abandoned in development or otherwise unfinished. Exercise caution.

Other services provided on the underlying data include:

Input Fields

The following fields are available to provide input to the service (with some renderers, some of these fields may be unavailable):

Name	Table Head	Description	Unit	UCD
ID	Id	The publisher DID of the dataset of interest	N/A	meta.id;meta.main
maxrec	Match limit	Maximum number of records returned. Pass 0 to retrieve service parameters.	N/A	N/A
responseformat	Output Format	File format requested for output.	N/A	meta.code.mime
verb	Verbosity	Exhaustiveness of column selection. VERB=1 only returns the most important columns, VERB=2 selects the columns deemed useful to the average user, VERB=3 returns a table with all available columns.	N/A	N/A
