Ultra VISTA Information System at LAM

UltraVISTA is an Ultra Deep, near-infrared survey with the new VISTA survey telescope of the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Over the course of several years, UltraVISTA will repeatedly image the COSMOS field in 5 bands resulting in three key surveys:

• an ultra-deep broad-band (Y, J, H, Ks) survey (1408hr) covering 0.73 deg²
• a deep broad-band (Y, J, H, Ks) survey (212hr) covering the full 1.5deg² field
• a narrow-band (180hr) survey covering the same region as the ultra-deep broad-band survey

This database is developed with the CESAM data center at the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille - France.
It provides a user-friendly access to the full photometric catalogs and images.

You can query the data in several ways:

• Download full datasets : download the full dataset of catalogs and images

• Search objects using a combination of criteria : query the data based on your own selection criteria and download the corresponding catalog
• Search objects using an identifier list : search each object identifier in a user-provided list and download the corresponding catalog and images

• Search around a position : search around a sky coordinate or an object identifier and download the corresponding catalog and images
• Search around a position in multiple datasets : search around a sky coordinate in selected datasets

• Search using the SQL module : write your SQL query
