SkyMapper First Data Release (DR1)

Listed in DataCite

"The SkyMapper First Data Release (DR1) provides data from the Shallow Survey across >98% of the southern sky, mostly covering the range from the South Celestial Pole to +2 deg in declination, with some extra coverage reaching +10 deg.

Description

DR1 includes fields observed between March 2014 and September 2015, with a number of quality cuts applied. Each visit to a given field includes an exposure in all six filters (uvgriz), although on some fields (12%) not all filter images passed the quality cuts.

Measurements from over 2.3 billion detections covering over 20,200 deg2 of sky are available. They correspond to ~300 million unique astrophysical objects from magnitude 8 to 18 (complete to ~17.5 mag, depending on the filter; all reported magnitudes are AB mags). Full details of the DR1 data, processing, and analysis are presented in Wolf et al. (2018, PASA).

International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA)-compliant table access protocol (TAP), cone search and simple image access protocol (SIAP) services are available from the SkyMapper website (skymapper.anu.edu.au/), as well as through tools such as TOPCAT. Data are typically restricted to Australian astronomers and their collaborators for twelve months from the release date (6 June 2017)."
