marla

This directory contains scripts to create SAGA base catalogs and compile SAGA spectra into a single file.

Google docs:

There are three google docs used in the scripts and these must be maintained to run the base catalogs:

SAGA_HOST_LISTS:  Contains the full SAGA host list and the Flag Zero list.
REMOVE_LIST:  Contains a list of objects which have been flagged by hand as junk.
SAGA_HOSTS+SATELLITES:  Official file of SAGA common names

Directories and File Setup:

These local directories and files are require to run scripts.

-- Environment variables:

SAGA_DIR:           Top level directory where SAGA data will live on local disk
SAGA_DROPBOX:  Local directory for DropBox/SAGA

-- Create local directories and download data files, GAMA DR2, NSA catalog:

SAGA_DIR/hosts:    Houses the sql downloads and base files
SAGA_DIR/cats:      Local copy of outside data catalogs
Download NSA catalog (nsa_v0_1_2.fits) and place in SAGADIR/cats
Download GAMA catalog (GAMA_SpecObj.fits) and place in SAGADIR/cats

-- Casjobs: http://skyserver.sdss3.org/CasJobs/CreateAccount.aspx

To run casjobs, need to setup an account, then edit your .bash_profile as:
          > export CASJOBS_WSID='2090870927'   # get your WSID from site above
          > export CASJOBS_PW='my password'

Download SQL files:

SDSS downloads of all objects within 1 degree of all hosts in host list

> import download_host_sqlfile
> download_host_sqlfile.run_query()

This typically takes a few minutes per host to download from the SDSS casjobs site.

Create SAGA Base Catalogs

Create value-added SAGA base catalogs.

> import create_base_catalogs
> create_base_catalogs.run_query(nowise=1)

If you want to include Lang WISE data, need to download _nw files into SAGA/nw_hosts/, otherwise, set nowise = 1

To create a single host catalog (not run full host list):

> create_base_catalogs.run_single_host(nsaid)

####Compile all SAGA spectra Compile all SDSS, GAMA and SAGA-aquired spectra, write to file

> import compile_saga_spectra

compile_saga_spectra
