Create a File of Targets

To search for data on a list of targets, provide a file of targets as follows:
  1. The file extension must be CSV.
  2. The first line of the file must provide column names. The following column names are recognized: target, ra, and dec.
  3. A file may contain just target names, just coordinates or both target names and coordinates.
  4. If providing a list without coordinate columns, it must first be resolved via the "Resolve & validate targets" button. This can take a while depending on the number of targets to resolve.
  5. When provided, coordinates must be provided in decimal degrees.
  6. The system will default to three arcseconds radius search.
Columns cannot be chosen for crossmatch results and may only be simply filtered after results are returned.
