Below is a description of the fields of the table that can be accessed through the interfaces.
Heliocentric radial velocity (CZ) in km/s with its uncertainty and quality flag in parentheses (in html displays).
The quality flag has the following meaning:
value | meaning |
---|---|
0 | regular measurement | <:tr>
1 | uncertain measurement, its weight is decreased by a factor 2 when computing the average value |
3 | preliminary measurement, probably superseeded in a more recent publication, it is ignored unless no other measurement is available |
4 | compilation, it is ignored unless no other measurement is available |
9 | rejected measurement |
Method of Measurement
code | definition |
---|---|
0 | unspecified method |
1 | optical measurement |
2 | radio measurement |
3 | optical measurement from a particular region (knot. region HII) |
4 | radio CO |
5 | radio OH |
6 | average of measurements of members |
7 | RVSAO (cross correlation) |
8 | EMSAO (emission lines) |
Resolution in km/s when the velocity comes from radio measurement
Line Code: code of the spectral line used for making a measurement
code | definition |
---|---|
0 |
unspecified |
1 |
emission line (like 21-cm line
or H_alpha line) |
2 |
absorption line |
