GalaxyClusters.com

Galaxyclusters.com is a database of radio-astronomical observations of extended radio sources generated in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. Currently the database includes all pointed observations of: radio relics, radio halos, radio mini-halos, and radio phoenixes.

How to query the database.

Simply hover your cursor above the QUERY button in the header to access the query form.

At the moment, you are able to constrain the query by name strings, ranges of coordinates, ranges of available properties. There is a switch to toggle coordinates from degrees to hour angle and vice versa. Furthermore, you can check/uncheck object classes as needed. Note that the processing time of your query scales with the number of found matches. It is possible to drop the entire database but writing the table will take a while.

The form allows you to check/uncheck table columns that you are interested in. The table delivers all known name aliases as well as a list of all measured properties with the corresponding reference links.

An export of your specific query results to a text file is available as well.
