Add/compute a new column

Aladin gives you the possibility to add a new column of values. This operation is

described with further details in section 5.7.

Export measures

Menu: catalogue => Create a new plane with …

Contextual menu: Create a new plane with …

Measures can be easily paste in the clipboard from the exploitation system in order to

paste them to another application. The contextual menu gives several possibilities:

It is also possible to generate, through the contextual menu, a new catalogue plane that

will hold a copy of the sources/measures seen in the measure panel “Create a new plane

with the selected sources” or in the main menu “Menu => Create a new plane with the

selected sources”.

Now that we have reviewed the different components from the main window, let’s go to

the second mostly used window in Aladin: the “server selector”.

5.2The server selector

Icon: .

Menu: File=> Open…, File => Load …

Short key: Ctrl+O

The " server selector” window lets you know and query the different astronomical

databases that can be accessed with Aladin.

It can be opened either with the

menus (menu “File”…)

This window is seen as several query forms that can be selected with tabs. Tabs on the

left of the window are related to images servers, tabs on the right to tables data servers,

including astronomical catalogues and observations lists from telescopes (“logs”).

Finally, tabs on the top are linked to special forms that will be detailed at the end of this

section.
