Weave Follow-up tool

Welcome to the Weave follow-up tool !


WEAVE (WHT Enhanced Area Velocity Explorer) is a new multi-object survey spectrograph for the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, on La Palma in the Canary Islands. It will allow astronomers to take optical spectra of up to ~1000 targets over a two-degree field of view in a single exposure (MOS), or to carry out integral-field spectroscopy using 20 deployable mini integral-field units (mIFUs) or one large fixed integral-field unit (LIFU). WEAVE's fibre-fed spectrograph comprises two arms, one optimised for the blue and one for the red, and offers two possible spectroscopic resolutions, 5000 and 20,000.


How does it work ?


This tool allows the users to visualise WEAVE data and validate their contents. Once you are connected, you can select a survey from the list and access to a list of predefined plots. You can also create your own plots by selecting the parameters you want to visualise. The aggregated plots are useful to show the results of all obids for a given survey.
The expert mode allows you to create custom plots by selecting the plot parameters and running a query on the database.
