Use Cases for Multi-dimensional Data

Radio Astronomy Use Cases

A set of use cases for finding data based on the spatial, spectral, polarization and temporal axes. RadioAstronomyCases.rtf

Integral Field Spectroscopy Use Cases

Find IFS data sets Search for IFS data sets on individual astronomical objects, or lists of objects with the following constraints

• spatial coverage centered on object position
• wavelength coverage e.g. 5000-7000 Angstrom
• spectral resolving power e.g. > 3000

• visualize the footprint of the IFU
• extract regions of interest along spatial and spectral axes
