Filename naming convention
We use the following convention to uniquely identify data products from the LCO network.Name structure for lightcurve datafiles:
[TargetName]_[network node]_[Filter].t
where
network node = [Site ID]-[Dome ID]-[Telescope ID]-[Instrument ID]
Site IDs:
South Africa = cpt
Chile = lsc
Hawaii = ogg
Australia = coj
La Palma (LT) = lap
Texas = elp
Sedgwick = sqa
Dome IDs:
For the 1m network, each observatory dome field can contain { doma, domb, domc }
For the 2m network, the dome field is { clma } for FTN and FTS and { lt } for the LT.
Telescope IDs:
2m network: 2m001, 2m002, lt (where 2m001=FTN and 2m002=FTS)
1m network: 1m0-03, 1m0-04, 1m0-05, 1m0-09, 1m0-10, 1m0-11, 1m0-12, 1m0-13 (so far, more to come)
Instrument IDs:
2m network: em03, em01, IO:O, fs03, fs02, fs01
1m network: kb05, kb70, kb71, kb75, kb76, fl02, fl03, fl04 (again, more to come)
Filters:
SDSS filter set gets abbreviated to a two letter code. This only applies to the 1m network. The 2ms use the full filternames.
SDSS-g = gp
SDSS-r = rp
SDSS-i = ip
Pan-STARRS-z = zs
Pan-STARRS-Y = ys
Otherwise, BVRI codes represent the Johnson-Cousins set.
