Input and Output Parameters


Coordinates (R.A./DEC)

Right ascension and declination, epoch 2000.
Required format for input:
R.A.: hh mm ss.s
DEC: ±dd mm ss



Coordinates (Galactic)

Galactic longitude and latitude, epoch 2000.
Required format for input:
Galactic longitude: +xxx.xxx
Galactic latitude: ±xx.xxx



Date (Output of interferometric follow-up observations)

Date of observation.



Distance (Output of Cone and List Search)

Distance to search center in arcseconds.



Expansion velocity (Input)

Range of outflow velocities of the shells to select in km/s. The velocity range covered is [0,200] km/s. The outflow velocity vexp is not available for all sources.



fblue (Output)

Flux density of the blue-shifted maser peak in Jy. For single-peak masers it contains its flux density. If value is marked by '<', then an upper limit (3σ) for a non-detection is given.



fred (Output)

Flux density of the red-shifted maser peak in Jy. It contains the flux density for a single peak maser, if it corresponds to the red-shifted peak in other observations.



Flux Density (Input)

Range of flux densities to select in Jansky (Jy). The range covered is [0,1000] Jy.



Frequency

Frequency in MHz.



ID (Output of List Search)

Row-number of the input table.



Input Table Format (List Search)

One source per line.
Equatorial coordinates with format: hh mm ss.s ±dd mm ss
Galactic coordinates with format: xxx.xxx ±xx.xxx



Instrument (Output of interferometric follow-up observations)

Instrument used for observation.



Maps (Output)

Link to interferometric observations (Maps) of the source.



max. Flux (Output of monitoring observations)

Maximum flux density observed during the monitoring program (in Jansky). If value is marked by '<', then an upper limit (3σ) for a non-detection is given.



min. Flux (Output of monitoring observations)

Minimum flux density observed during the monitoring program (in Jansky).



Mon.(itor) (Output)

Link to monitoring observations (Monitor) of the source.



Nmaps (Output of interferometric follow-up observations)

Number of interferometric observations.



Observation Start (Output of interferometric follow-up and monitoring observations)

Date of first interferometric follow-up observation or date of start of the monitoring program.



Observation End (Output of interferometric follow-up and monitoring observations)

Date of last interferometric follow-up observation or date of end of the monitoring program.



Pol.(arization) (Output of interferometric follow-up observations)

Polarization measurement? (Yes/No).



Radial velocity (Input)

Range of radial velocities to select in km/s. The velocity range covered is [-500,500] km/s. The radial velocity vrad is available for all sources.



Ref.(erences)

Link to the literature reference of the observation.


Res.(olution) (Output of interferometric follow-up observations)

Minimum spatial resolution in milliarcseconds as defined by the size of the restoring beam. For elliptical beams the diameter of the major axis us taken.



RMS (Output of interferometric follow-up observations)

Sensitivity given in Jansky. If value is marked by '<', then an upper limit (3σ) for a non-detection is given.



Search Radius (Input)

Search radius in arcseconds (maximum is 999 arcsec).



Source Name (Output)

Name of the observed source. The designation given in the reference is taken.



Spectral Type (Output in ASCII file only)

S: Single peak of maser emission.
D: Double peak of maser emission.
I: Irregular spectral profile, multiple emission peaks.



vrad (Output)

Radial velocity of the object in km/s. If vrad is not given in the reference it is calculated. The vrad value is always filled.



vexp (Output)

Outflow velocity of the shell in km/s. If vexp is not given in the reference it is calculated for non-single peak emission profiles. The vexp value is not always filled.



vblue (Output)

Velocity of the blue-shifted maser peak in km/s. For single-peak masers it contains the line velocity.



vred (Output)

Velocity of the red-shifted maser peak in km/s. It contains the line velocity for a single peak maser, if it corresponds to the red-shifted peak in other observations.



Velocity Error (Output as ASCII file)

Uncertainty of velocity values in km/s. Taken from the velocity resolution of the observation. It is actually a lower limit of the uncertainty, because the lines are usually much broader than the velocity resolution of the observing equipment.
