Archival image to display on candidate page #4

Closed jrastinejad closed 10 months ago

jrastinejad commented 2 years ago

Need to figure out best way to get an archival image of candidate field to display with host galaxy labels on candidate page. Ideally want to make a plan for:

Which catalogs to pull from? How does catalog priority depend on sky location? Should we save image or pull up a new one every time (how much time does this take?)? What does snex do? Should go in galaxy function or be separate?

SNEx does some complicated priority according to the sky position: I think it's PS1 3π, SDSS, DECam, POSS. All of these are accessible via API. But I always thought it might be better just to embed the Aladin viewer, like the TNS does.

On the other hand, if we are predownloading a template for every field we'll be observing, we could potentially make our own cutouts and display them.

jrastinejad commented 2 years ago

Okay, good to know. @dsand made the point that if we're ingesting candidates from other groups, we won't have cutouts for some candidates so perhaps Aladin is the way to go?

dsand commented 2 years ago

I like the Aladin suggestion.

griffin-h commented 2 years ago

@jrastinejad is going to look into whether it's possible to plot regions on top of Aladin, e.g. for galaxy crossmatches

dsand commented 2 years ago

I would just ask Sam Wyatt about this. They seem to do it for the Treasure Map.

jrastinejad commented 2 years ago

Great, I'll message him Monday

griffin-h commented 10 months ago

We solved the plotting of regions on top of the Aladin viewer.
