DR6 catalog of diagnostic data (ravedr6.dr6_obsdata)
The table has 518347 rows, 22 columns.
Description
dr6_obsdata contains helpful diagnostic information regarding the Rave data and derived data products. This includes, e.g., the observing data, exposure time, fiber number, field plate, number of arc lines used for the wave length calibration, the coordinates of the field plate center, phase of Moon, and healpix coordinates.
