2dFGRS 100k Data Release Spectroscopic Catalogues |
These ASCII catalogues are provided for the convenience of users of
the 2dFGRS 100k Data Release. However it is important to note that the
mSQL database is the definitive
data source, and contains all the information in the ASCII catalogues
and much additional data.
This file contains data for the best spectra for each of the 102426
sources in the 100k data release. Where there is more than one 2dFGRS
spectrum for a source, the `best z' is the redshift with the highest
quality code and most recent date of observation. Each line of
best.observations.idz contains the following parameters:

As there are 7027 duplicate observations, it comprises 109453 entries for the 102426 sources. Each source has at least two lines in the file, with formats as follows: Line 1 for each source lists: serial I6 Database serial number (=SEQNUM) spectra I1 Number of spectra obtained to 31 Jan 2000 name A10 2dFGRS name (=NAME) UKST A3 UKST plate (=IFIELD) ra A11 R.A.
