Description of the SOPHIE archive query results page

objname
The designation of the source, as recognized by SIMBAD. If available, the HD designation is selected by default. Other designations, such as proper names, Bayer letters, Flamsteed numbers, Gliese, SAO, BD, and GSC catalog entries should also be accepted when querying.

coordinatesJ2000
The equatorial coordinates of the source, referred to equinox 2000, epoch 2000

S
This is a link to the relevant SIMBAD query page for this source.

E
This is a link to any observations of the source which may be present in the ELODIE archive.

seq
A sequence number which identifies a particular spectrum. It is used to uniquely identify an entry in the database.

date
The calendar date corresponding to the beginning of the night (UT) on which this particular spectrum was obtained.

fiber
Indicates which of the two available fiber pairs (AB) was used : HE (high efficiency) or HR (high resolution). See the spectrograph web page for details on the fiber throughput and corresponding spectral resolution.

dprtype
This parameter group (fiber_A,fiber_B,correlation_mask) indicates how the fibers (A and B) were used and which mask was requested for the cross-correlation. Possible values for fiber_B can be : DARK (no light admitted), SKY (exposure to the sky background) or WAVE (simultaneous Thorium lamp calibration). In the latter two cases it should later be possible to retrieve the B fiber data.

exptime
Actual exposure time in seconds.

sn26
Gives the signal-to-noise ratio at the center of order 26 [out of orders 0-38], corresponding to 5550 Å (near the center of the V band).

view_spec
Allows the user to view an auto-scaled plot of the one-dimensional spectrum (s1d), rebinned to a constant wavelength step (0.01 Å step), where the orders have been corrected for the blaze function and reconnected. Note that there is at present a residual blaze effect (5%) left over in the HE mode. If the spectrum is less than a year old, the data are not yet available to outside users. For more information on the 's1d' format, see the data products page.

view_head
Allows the user to browse through the FITS header corresponding to this spectrum.

get_spec
Allows the user to download the 's1d' spectrum FITS file.

get_e2ds
Allows the user to download the extracted spectrum in order space (e2ds). This file contains 39 lines of 4077 pixels corresponding to the actual spectral sampling by the CCD. Each 's2ds' spectrum is associated with a 'wave' file, having the same format, containing the wavelegths for all the pixels of the object spectrum, and with a 'blaze' spectrum, derived from a tungsten lamp exposure, which can be used to do a preliminary correction for the blaze function.

customize
This page allows the user to customize the spectrum in different ways before viewing it and/or downloading it.
