Spaghetti Survey

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The Spaghetti project is a pencil-beam photometric and spectroscopic survey designed to identify structure in the Galactic halo.

Description

Four-color stellar photometry in the modified Washington filter set is used to identify halo stars for spectroscopic observations. The filters include C, M, T2 and DDO51.

The fields in the survey are chosen from high Galactic-latitude positions with low reddening and no stars as bright as SAO stars. Thus far we have imaged 134 fields covering a total area of 52deg^2^. These fields are listed in table1.dat.

Due to weather, the only fully calibrated photometry was measured from images taken with the BTC ccd mosaic camera on the CTIO 4m telescope in April 1999. Table4.dat lists these stars from the 53 BTC fields, which covers a total area of 13 square degrees. These data include only those stars whose measurement errors are less than 0.04 in all four filters (32655 total stars).

Photometric measurements of stars in the other fields will be published as soon as they can be fully calibrated. See <GCPD/48> for a short description of the Washington Photometric system.
