A User's Guide to the Batch Request Format of CATS


The query form has to begin with the keyword "CATS" at the beginning of
a line and to finish with the line starting "CATS END". Each line is
interpreted as a command unless it starts with a '%' symbol, which
denotes a comment. Each line may contain several commands with their
arguments, and may be separated by either space(s), a tabulation,
a comma, '=' (equal sign) or carriage return . An exception to
this rule is the command 'SOURCES' indicating the beginning of a table
of source parameters to be queried. This command must be the last or
single on a line.

Similarly, the table of sources is terminated by a line starting with
any valid command. Therefore it is forbidden to use a sequence
of symbols as a name prefix of a source inside of a table, which
at the same time also forms a standard command.

The default search window is a circle. If the parameter "BOX" is set
after a comma, the search will be done in a rectangular box.
The units of the circle radius or the box side can be following
(written as) : sec or arcsec (default), min or arcmin,
a symbol ' (arcmin) or a symbol " (arcsec).
All these units are angular (not temporal).

The formats of window size can be following:
window box x=12",y=3.2' - box of size 12arcsec x 3.2arcmin (RA x DEC)
window box 3' - box of size 3' x 3'
window circle 3' - circle with radius of 3'
window ellipse x=15",y=3' - ellipse with half-axes 15arcsec and 3arcmin

All commands are case-insensitive.

============================================================================

The resulting output is provided in the same formats as in the
other forms of access to CATS, namely:
the usual table format, the FITS TABLE format, and PostsScript for figures.
All of them may be delivered in compressed or non-compressed forms.
A binary format of output data (e.g. when compression was requested) is
first transformed to ASCII by one of the standard UNIX convertors which may
be selected by the user (uuencode, mime or ship) and then
sent to the user's address with the operations report.
It is possible to specify a maximum size of an email returned to the user.
When errors occur, the report consists of a protocol of the automatic analyzer
of the requested operations, including instructions with syntax rules for the
CATS batch request via e-mail.

To avoid infinite email loops, e.g. when illegal return addresses
were given, or when a reply is impossible, requests will not be processed
for "users" with names uucp, root, Mailer-Daemon, etc.

1) A simple example of the mail letter with the 'selection' task:

mail -s "" cats@sao.ru

cats select
ra min=12:30 max=12:40:15.
dec > 0 < 5' 46"
catalogs r epoch=1950 flux > 0.5
out ship, size=50
cats end

2) A simple example of the mail letter with the 'matching' task:

mail -s "" cats@sao.ru

cats match catalogs a
window box x=30" y=20'
sources:
s1 02:02:00 +31:23:16 1950
s2 02:23:10 34:03:00 1950
s3 21:26:33.9 -18:34:33.0 1950
cats end
