QUasars as BRIght beacons for Cosmology in the Southern hemisphere


QUBRICS database In order to access the QUBRICS database you need to connect (via ssh) to the server host. :

# Connect to public server machine
ssh quusr@cats.oas.inaf.it

Once connected you may access the DB using the client on the server host:

# Connect to MariaDB server
quusr@cats:~$ mysql -u quusr -p QubricsWeb


# Run a query:
MariaDB [QubricsWeb]> SELECT qid, RAd, DECd, objtype, z_spec, PanSTARRS1DR2_mag_Y FROM All_info WHERE otypeid=1  AND  z_spec > 4  AND DECd < -20 LIMIT 100;

Alternatively you may setup a tunneling on the server host with the following command:

# Connect to public server machine
ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=10 -L 3306:127.0.0.1:3306 quusr@cats.oas.inaf.it

and use a MySQL-compliant client on your machine. E.g.:

mysql -u quusr -p -h 127.0.0.1 -P 3306 -D QubricsWeb

The relevant tables are:

  - All_info;
  - QubricsObservations;
  - KnownQSOs.

NOTE: in order to avoid very long query execution times the search criteria should be given only on one (or more) of the following columns:
  • qid;
  • RAd;
  • DECd;
  • otypeid;
  • Q1_SkyM3_mag_i;
  • PanSTARRS1DR2_mag_Y;
