Automatic detection of Position Keywords



 If the dataloader can (or must) not detect position keywords, it attempts to find them out automatically by checking first UCDs/Utypes, then keywods and then WCS for images :
- * Search by UCDs or UTYPEs :

ucd
pos.eq.ra(dec);meta.main
pos.eq.ra(dec)
pos.eq;meta.main
pos.eq
utype sed:Target.pos

The first keyword(s) matching any of these conditions will be taken as position

  • Search by keywords : If the search by UCDs or UTYPEs fails, the dataloader will look at keyword names matching the following regular expressions
Ascension (_ra)|(_ra.?(2000)?)|(_ra.?[^(dec)]?)|(_ra.?obj)
Declination (_de)|(_dec)|(_dec.?(2000)?)|(_de.?(2000)?)|(_dec.?[^(ra)]?)|(_dec.?obj)|(_de.?obj)

We let RegExp experts enjoying to decode that.

  • Search by WCS keywords (for images only) : If previous searches fail both, the image center computed with WCS keywords is taken.
