CADC (astroquery.cadc)¶
The Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC) is a world-wide distribution centre for astronomical data obtained from telescopes. The CADC specializes in data mining, processing, distribution and transferring of very large astronomical datasets.
This package allows the access to the data at the CADC.
Basic Access¶
The CADC hosts a number of collections and
get_collections returns a list of all
these collections:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> for collection, details in sorted(cadc.get_collections().items()):
... print(f'{collection} : {details}')
...
APASS : {'Description': 'The APASS collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Optical', 'Infrared|Optical', '']}
BLAST : {'Description': 'The BLAST collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['', 'Millimeter']}
BRITE-Constellation : {'Description': 'The BRITE-Constellation collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Optical']}
CFHT : {'Description': 'The CFHT collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Infrared|Optical', 'Optical|UV|EUV|X-ray|Gamma-ray', 'Infrared|Optical|UV', '', 'Optical', 'Infrared']}
CFHTMEGAPIPE : {'Description': 'The CFHTMEGAPIPE collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['', 'Infrared|Optical', 'Optical']}
CFHTTERAPIX : {'Description': 'The CFHTTERAPIX collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Infrared|Optical', 'Optical', 'Infrared']}
CFHTWIRWOLF : {'Description': 'The CFHTWIRWOLF collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Infrared']}
CGPS : {'Description': 'The CGPS collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Infrared', 'Radio', 'Millimeter', '', 'Millimeter|Infrared']}
...
SUBARU : {'Description': 'The SUBARU collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Optical']}
SUBARUCADC : {'Description': 'The SUBARUCADC collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Optical', 'Infrared|Optical']}
TESS : {'Description': 'The TESS collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Optical']}
UKIRT : {'Description': 'The UKIRT collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Infrared|Optical', '', 'Optical', 'Infrared']}
VGPS : {'Description': 'The VGPS collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Radio']}
VLASS : {'Description': 'The VLASS collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['', 'Radio']}
WALLABY : {'Description': 'The WALLABY collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Radio']}
XMM : {'Description': 'The XMM collection at the CADC', 'Bands': ['Optical', 'UV', 'X-ray']}
The most basic ways to access the CADC data and metadata is by region or by name. The following example queries CADC for Canada France Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) data for a given region and resolves the URLs for downloading the corresponding data.
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> result = cadc.query_region('08h45m07.5s +54d18m00s', collection='CFHT')
>>> print(result)

The next example queries all the data in the same region and filters the results on the name of the target (as an example - any other filtering possible) and resolves the URLs for both the primary and auxiliary data (in this case preview files)
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> result = cadc.query_region('08h45m07.5s +54d18m00s')
>>> urls = cadc.get_data_urls(result[result['target_name'] == 'Nr3491_1'],
... include_auxiliaries=True)
>>> for url in urls:
... print(url)
...

https://www.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/data/pub/CFHT/2376828p.fits.fz?RUNID=tqlxhnxndjs1xhd3
CADC data can also be queried on the target name. Note that the name is not resolved. Instead it is matched against the target name in the CADC metadata.
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> result_m31 = cadc.query_name('M31')
>>>
>>> result = cadc.query_name('Nr3491_1')
>>> print(result)

If only a subsection of the FITS file is needed, CADC can query an area and resolve the cutout of a result.
>>> from astropy import units as u
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> coords = '01h45m07.5s +23d18m00s'
>>> radius = 0.01*u.deg
>>> images = cadc.get_images(coords, radius, collection='CFHT')
>>> images
[<astropy.io.fits.hdu.image.PrimaryHDU object at 0x7f3805a06ef0>]
[<astropy.io.fits.hdu.image.PrimaryHDU object at 0x7f3805b23b38>]
Alternatively, if the query result is large and data does not need to be in memory, lazy access to the downloaded FITS file can be used.
>>> from astropy import units as u
>>> from astropy.coordinates import SkyCoord
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> coords = SkyCoord(10, 20, unit='deg')
>>> radius = 0.01*u.deg
>>> readable_objs = cadc.get_images_async(coords, radius, collection='CFHT')
>>> readable_objs

If the cutout URLs from a complicated query
are needed, the result table can be passed into the
get_image_list function, along with the
cutout coordinates and radius.
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> from astropy import units as u
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> coords = '01h45m07.5s +23d18m00s'
>>> results = cadc.query_region(coords, radius=0.1*u.deg, collection='CFHT')
>>> filtered_results = results[results['time_exposure'] > 120.0]
>>> image_list = cadc.get_image_list(filtered_results, coords, radius)
>>> print(image_list)

Note that the examples above are for accessing data anonymously. Users
with access to proprietary data can use authenticated sessions
to instantiate the CadcClass class or call
login on it before querying or accessing
the data.
CADC metadata is available through a TAP service. While the above interfaces offer a quick and simple access to the data, the TAP interface presented in the next sections allows for more complex queries.
Query CADC metadata using TAP¶
Cadc TAP access is based on a TAP+ REST service. TAP+ is an extension of Table Access Protocol (TAP) specified by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA).
The TAP query language is Astronomical Data Query Language (ADQL), which is similar to Structured Query Language (SQL), widely used to query databases.
TAP provides two operation modes:
Synchronous: the response to the request will be generated as soon as the request received by the server. (In general, avoid using this method for queries that take a long time to run before the first rows are returned as it might lead to timeouts on the client side.)
Asynchronous: the server will start a job that will execute the request. The first response to the request is the required information (a link) to obtain the job status. Once the job is finished, the results can be retrieved.
The functions can be run as an authenticated user, the
list_async_jobs function will error if
not authenticated. For authentication you need an account with the
CADC, go to http://www.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/, choose a
language, click on Login in the top right area, click on the Request
an Account link, enter your information and wait for confirmation of
your account creation.
There are two types of authentication:
Username/Password:
Cadc().login(user='yourusername', password='yourpassword')Certificate:
Cadc().login(certificate_file='path/to/certificate/file')
For certificate authentication to get a certificate go to https://www.cadc-ccda.hia-iha.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/, choose a language, login, click on your name where the login button used to be, from the drop-down menu click Obtain a Certificate and save the certificate. When adding authentication used the path to where you saved the certificate. Remember that certificates expire and you will need to get a new one.
When logging in, both forms of authentication are allowed. Authentication will be applied to each subsequent call. When a job is created with authentication any further calls will require authentication.
There is one way to logout which will cancel any kind of authentication that was used:
Logout:
Cadc.logout()
CADC metadata is modeled using the CAOM (Common Archive Observation Model).
Examples of TAP access¶
1. Non authenticated access¶
1.1. Get tables¶
To get a list of table objects:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> tables = cadc.get_tables(only_names=True)
>>> for table in tables:
... print(table)
...
caom2.Observation
caom2.Plane
caom2.Artifact
caom2.Part
caom2.Chunk

1.2. Get table¶
To get a single table object:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> table=cadc.get_table(table='caom2.Observation')
>>> for col in table.columns:
... print(col.name)

1.3 Run synchronous query¶
A synchronous query will not store the results at server side. These queries must be used when the amount of data to be retrieved is ‘small’.
There is a limit of 2000 rows. If you need more than that, you must use asynchronous queries.
The results can be saved in memory (default) or in a file.
Query without saving results in a file:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> results = cadc.exec_sync("SELECT top 100 observationID, intent FROM caom2.Observation")
>>> print(results)
observationID intent

Length = 100 rows
Query saving results in a file:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> job = cadc.exec_sync("SELECT TOP 10 observationID, obsID FROM caom2.Observation",
... output_file='test_output_noauth.xml')
1.5 Synchronous query with temporary uploaded table¶
A temporary table can be uploaded to the server from a local file and used in a query.
The uploads argument in exec_sync is a map where the key is the name of the
table and the value is the name of the VOTable temporary file with the content.
In the query, the temporary table is referred to as tap_upload.table_name.
For example, if uploads = {'temp_table': 'table_file_name'}, then the simplest query
to return the content of that table would be SELECT * FROM tap_upload.temp_table.
Multiple temporary tables to be used at once can be specified as such.
More details about temporary table upload can be found in the IVOA TAP specification.
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> # save a few observations on a local file
>>> results = cadc.exec_sync("SELECT TOP 3 observationID FROM caom2.Observation",
... output_file='my_observations.xml')
>>> print(results)
observationID

>>> # now use them to join with the remote table
>>> results = cadc.exec_sync("SELECT o.observationID, intent FROM caom2.Observation o "
... "JOIN tap_upload.test_upload tu ON o.observationID=tu.observationID",
... uploads={'test_upload': 'my_observations.xml'})
>>> print(results)

The feature allows a user to save the results of a query to use them later or correlate them with data in other TAP services.
1.6 Asynchronous query¶
Asynchronous queries save results at server side. These queries can be accessed at any time.
The results can be saved in memory (default) or in a file.
Query without saving results in a file:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> job = cadc.create_async("SELECT TOP 100 observationID, instrument_name, target_name FROM caom2.Observation AS Observation")
>>> job.run().wait()
>>> job.raise_if_error()
>>> print(job.fetch_result().to_table())

1.7 Load job¶
Asynchronous jobs can be loaded. You need the jobid in order to load the job.
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> job = cadc.create_async("SELECT TOP 100 observationID, instrument_name, target_name FROM caom2.Observation AS Observation")
>>> job.run().wait()
>>> job.raise_if_error()
>>> loaded_job = cadc.load_async_job(jobid=job.job_id)
>>> print(loaded_job.fetch_result().to_table())

2. Authenticated access¶
Some capabilities (shared tables, persistent jobs, etc.) are only available to authenticated users.
One authentication option is to instantiate the
CadcClass class with a pre-existing,
pyvo.auth.authsession.AuthSession or requests.Session object that
contains the necessary credentials. Note that the session will be
used for all the service interaction. The former session attempts to
pair the credentials with the auth methods in the service capabilities
while the latter sends the credentials with all requests.
The second option is to use the login
method.
After a successful authentication, user credentials will be used
until the logout method is called.
All previous methods (get_tables,
get_table) explained for non authenticated
users are applicable for authenticated ones.
2.1 Login/Logout¶
Login with username and password:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> cadc.login(user='userName', password='userPassword')
Login with certificate:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> cadc.login(certificate_file='/path/to/cert/file')
To perform a logout:
>>> from astroquery.cadc import Cadc
>>> cadc = Cadc()
>>> cadc.logout()
