2dFGRS Final Data Release Spectroscopic Catalogues |
These ASCII catalogues are provided for the convenience of users of the 2dFGRS Final Data Release. However it is important to note that the mSQL database is the definitive data source, and contains all the information in the ASCII catalogues and much additional data. This file contains data for the best spectrum for each of the 245591 sources in the final data release. Where there is more than one 2dFGRS spectrum for a source, the best spectrum is the one with the highest redshift quality code; if there is more than one spectrum of this quality, then the spectrum with the latest date of observation is used. Each line of best.observations.idz contains the following parameters: Keyward Format Description serial I6 Database serial number (=SEQNUM) spectra I1 Number of spectra obtained name A10 2dFGRS name (=NAME) UKST A3 UKST plate (=IFIELD) ra A11 R.A.
