SSA - SuperCOSMOS Science Archive
The SuperCOSMOS Science archive holds the object catalogue data extracted from
scans of photographic Schmidt survey plates.
At around 4 terabytes in size, the
database contains nearly 6.4 billion individual object detections which are merged
into just under 1.9 billion multi-colour, multi-epoch sources
and covers the whole sky in three wavebands (BRI), with one colour (R) represented at two epochs.
Access to the data has previously been made available through the
SuperCOSMOS Sky Survey
pages. The SSA is based on the same underlying data but it is housed in a
relational database (Microsoft SQL Server 2005).
This platform allows users more power and control over how they can access
the data.
A short description of the SSA database structure and content is given in
the Data Overview,
for full details see the Schema Browser.
Users wishing to access the data should first read the general introductory
notes under Data Access.
