Disk Detective Talk

Using Vizier

  • thisisjaid by thisisjaid

    I realize the place is pretty quiet which I'm not sure if it's a sign that the project is being scaled down or not, but either way, I've been doing quite a bit of classifying and am enjoying delving deeper into stuff, looking at SEDs, trying to match up and get info from VizieR and so on.

    The one question I have at the moment is, when looking up stuff from VizieR, are we always only looking at the WISE database result, which is always 0.000 arcsec from the center of our search, or do we try to consider and match up other results, which, while not dead center at our coordinates are likely, by being very close - say under 0.1 arcsec, are likely to be the same source as the DiskDetective/WISE record?

    I'd like to make sure I'm not mistakenly posting erroneous information on candidates and that I'm doing something properly useful 😃

    Thanks
