The WherePosition clause



 WherePosition encapsulates all positional constraints. Current Saada release only supports cone search.

 Positional constraints are expressed by the operator isInCircle("position/name",size, coord equinox, coord syst).

  • The size is expressed in arcminutes.
  • Latitudes and longitudes must be expressed in the current coordinates system. Both decimal and HMS formats are recognized.
  • Supported coordinate systems are J2000/1950, FK4/5

 Multiple Target search is supported. WherePosition statement can contain as much isInCircle operators as needed.

 example :

WherePosition{ isInCircle("M33", 0.16, J2000, FK5)
             , isInCircle("12:23:56.5 -1:2;3.5", 0.2, J2000, FK5)
             , isInCircle("1.234 +23.5433", 0.23, J2000 FK5)
             }
