ESO-Uppsala ESO(B) Survey

This database table was derived from information provided in "The ESO/Uppsala Survey of the ESO(B) Atlas" (ESO/U), which is a joint project undertaken by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the Uppsala Observatory to provide a systematic and homogeneous search of the ESO(B) Atlas (also known as the Quick Blue Survey). The ESO(B) Atlas, taken with the ESO 1 m Schmidt telescope at La Silla, Chile, covers 606 fields from -90 to -20 degrees of declination.

The fields are similar in size and scale to those of the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey. Unsensitized IIa-O plates and a 2 mm GG385 filter were used to give a passband similar to the Johnson B color. Additional information is available from the HEASARC.
